Marjorie Taylor Greene Fires Back at ‘Coward’ Trump Official Over Epstein Files
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) laid into a White House official who criticized her and other lawmakers for attempting to get the Jeffrey Epstein files released.
Greene and other lawmakers, including Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) spoke at a rally on Wednesday that was also attended by some of Epstein’s victims.
“Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal continued a nightmare,” she said. “Those people deserve the shame.”
Khanna and Massie have introduced a bipartisan resolution forcing the release of all the files.
“Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration,” an anonymous White House official said in a statement.
Greene appeared on Wednesday’s Bolling! on Real America’s Voice, where she contradicted President Donald Trump’s claim that the Epstein case is a “hoax.” She also trained her fire on the anonymous White House official.
Host Eric Bolling asked, “Do you expect you’re gonna get a little pushback from the administration for getting involved in this?”
“Oh, I got a lot of pushback,” Greene replied. “I got phone call after phone call last night. They didn’t want me to sign the discharge petition. They want to focus on the oversight investigation. They hate Thomas Massie more than they can hate any Democrat, which makes no sense to me. And they don’t want to work with Democrats at all.”
Greene went on to make clear that she doesn’t blame Trump, but rather the people around him, such as the official in question:
Every Republican should be able to sign onto this. And that’s the real hoax, that they’re afraid to sign onto it because somebody who is a real coward from– one of the Trump admin officials came out and called this a “hostile act” against Trump administration. I take very big offense to that because I put my life and my fortune on the line fighting to get that man elected. And whoever said that has their job because of people like me, that fought all the horrible Republicans that stabbed him in the back after January 6th. And I was one of those that fought on the front lines and said, “No, he is the leader of our party. He is the president, and we’re gonna make him president again.”
Well, that coward attacked me and attacked anybody else, and called it a “hostile act.” The hostile act was Jeffrey Epstein raping 14-year-old girls. That was the hostile act, and it’s not a hoax. And, Eric, I’ll tell you what, I hope people at home light up their phone lines. I hope they call them out on social media. I hope that they show up at their districts’ offices, and I really hope that they push my colleagues to do the right thing.
On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee released a trove of documents relating to the Epstein case, but the vast majority of them were already publicly available.
