Congresswoman Accuses Trump of Protecting the ‘Epstein Class’

Marjorie Taylor Greene is escalating her war with Donald Trump, accusing the president of targeting Republicans who dared to push for the release of the Epstein files.

In a blistering post on X, the Georgia firebrand claimed she and three other GOP lawmakers were punished politically after backing a discharge petition that forced Congress to vote on documents tied to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“There were only 4 of us, Republicans, that signed the discharge petition to force the vote to release the Epstein files,” Greene wrote, naming Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and herself.

Then came the explosive accusation.

“Trump has come after us one by one ever since then,” Greene claimed.

The extraordinary attack marks another dramatic fracture inside the MAGA movement, with Greene accusing Trump of turning his political machine against members of his own party who demanded more transparency around one of the most politically toxic scandals in modern American life.

Greene also alleged Trump pressured House Speaker Mike Johnson to stop the vote from happening in the first place.

“The President told Speaker Johnson not to allow the vote to happen,” she wrote, claiming the small group of Republican holdouts “refused to budge” until the measure finally reached the House floor.

According to Greene, most GOP lawmakers only found the courage to support the push once they were forced to vote publicly.

Her message was clear: Republicans were afraid of Trump until the spotlight was on them.

Greene did not stop there.

In one of her sharpest attacks yet, she accused Trump of ruling the party through fear, writing that Republicans had been “absurdly obedient” to a president she said used a “reign of terror” to keep them in line.

That language is stunning coming from Greene, once one of Trump’s loudest and most loyal defenders in Congress.

But the Epstein files fight appears to have shattered that alliance.

Greene claimed that despite passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the public still has not seen everything.

“All the files are still not released, and the Epstein class remains protected,” she wrote.

She then broadened her attack, accusing political and financial elites of escaping accountability while ordinary Americans struggle.

“Wars are being waged, the markets are being manipulated, and the average American is being driven further into ruin while the Epstein class reigns and has yet to face any accountability,” Greene added.

The remarks tap into growing anger across the political spectrum over how much information the government has still withheld about Epstein, his powerful connections, and the people who may have enabled or benefited from his abuse network.

For Democrats and Trump critics, Greene’s comments also raise an explosive question: why would Trump allegedly fight so hard to slow or stop the release of files that so many of his supporters demanded?

Greene ended her post by making a dramatic break from both Trump and the Republican Party.

“I will never regret signing that discharge petition, refusing to back down, and resigning as I want nothing to do with a President and a Party that bows to the Epstein class,” she declared.

Her latest comments follow previous claims that Trump privately worked to keep Epstein-related documents sealed.

During an appearance on The Shannon Joy Show, Greene alleged Trump personally pressured former Attorney General Pam Bondi not to release the files.

“He flat out told her, ‘Do not release the Epstein files,’” Greene claimed, adding that Trump “was blocking everybody.”

She also alleged Trump warned Republicans that releasing the documents could hurt people close to him.

“His reasoning was… people are going to get hurt,” Greene said. “He kept saying that.”

Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing related to Epstein, and the existence or contents of any unreleased files remain a matter of intense public speculation. But Greene’s accusations are politically damaging because they are coming from inside the MAGA house.

For years, Trump’s allies demanded the release of the Epstein files, framing the issue as a test of whether Washington was serious about exposing powerful predators and their enablers.

Now one of Trump’s most recognizable former allies is accusing him of standing in the way.

And as Greene’s feud with the president grows uglier, the Epstein files battle is no longer just a transparency fight.

It has become a full-blown Republican civil war.
