Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ripped into former President Donald Trump after he labeled her a “traitor,” saying she stood by Epstein survivors and pushed for transparency — even when it drew his ire.
Greene, who joined a bipartisan effort in the House to force a vote on the release of Justice Department documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, said Trump’s attack was deeply personal. “I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for 6 years for. I gave him my loyalty for free,” she told CNN.
She defended her decision to sign onto the Epstein Files Transparency Act, arguing she did it to stand with rape and trafficking survivors. “He called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition,” she said.
Greene added that her definition of “traitor” is someone who serves foreign countries or personal interests, not someone fighting for accountability. “Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves,” she said.
She also warned that Trump’s harsh rhetoric could put her at risk. “Those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” she stated.
Despite the feud, Greene maintains that she still supports Trump’s broader agenda. “I do support him and his administration,” she told CNN.
But on Epstein files, she said, she’s not backing down: “I stand with these women, I stand with rape victims … I believe the country deserves transparency in these files.”
