ABC Reported more on Greene’s remarks outside of the Capitol:
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hit back at President Donald Trump on Tuesday at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol alongside women victimized by late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump withdrew his support for Greene, one of his staunchest allies, over the weekend after she criticized him and his administration for their handling of the Epstein investigation, along with other matters.
“I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five, no, actually, six years for, and I gave him my loyalty for free,” Greene said, referencing a social media post from Trump over the weekend where he called her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene.”
“I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary, and I’ve never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for the policies and for America first, and he called me a traitor for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition.”
Greene appeared to insinuate on Tuesday that Trump was the “traitor.”
“Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me now,” Greene continued.
The comments came ahead of Tuesday’s House vote on a bill to force the Justice Department to release all files related to Epstein, an effort Trump opposed for months before suddenly reversing himself as it became clear enough Republicans would vote in favor.

The Independent reported more on Greene’s remarks:
“I want to see every single name released so that these women don’t have to live in fear and intimidation,” she said before noting how she’d had “just a small taste” of that intimidation in the days since she defied Trump after he attacked her on social media and inspired what has been described as a spate of violent death threats against her.
Greene added that the “real test” going forward would be whether the Department of Justice heeds the law, which Trump has pledged to sign, and releases all the case files from the probes into Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
She also noted that the DOJ could keep the files “tied up in investigations” after Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to open what appears to be a sham probe into Epstein’s connections to a group of prominent Democrats, including former president Bill Clinton.
The Republican firebrand’s ugly break with Trump over the Epstein case files comes after weeks of tensions between her and the president over a number of issues, including her support for extending Affordable Care Act tax credits supported by Democrats and her discomfort over Trump’s second-term focus on foreign policy and his open pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize while he has failed to address the affordability issues that led Americans to return him to the White House in last year’s presidential election.
She noted that she was not a “Johnny come lately” to Trump’s “MAGA train” and said the president’s refusal to support release of the files despite promising to do so on the campaign trail last year had been “one of the most destructive things” to Trump’s movement because his supporters had “fought for truth and transparency and to hold what we consider a corrupt government accountable.”
