In a dramatic turn inside the Republican Party, US President Donald Trump has pulled his support for Georgia senator Marjorie Taylor Greene, and she says it all comes down to her backing the release of the Epstein lines, a set of documents that continue to fuel fierce political debate in the United States.
The move marks one of the most public fallouts yet between the two MAGA numbers, signalling growing fractures within Trump’s political circle. While the brace has disagreed ahead, this rearmost battle has gone far beyond a routine disagreement.
A Rift Over the Epstein Documents
Greene insists the unforeseen pullout of support is linked to her signing a solicitation pushing for a House vote to release all remaining lines linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier indicted of running a vast network of underage girls for sex.
The solicitation gathered enough autographs after the US government arrestment ended, forcing the issue onto the House docket.
Although a vote date has not been announced, Trump poured cold water on the push, calling the Epstein documents a “hoax” and accusing Democrats of using them “to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN.”
His comments came just days after thousands of previously sealed Epstein-related documents were made public, referencing well-known names including Mr Trump, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson.
Trump Calls Greene ‘Wacky’ as Feud Escalates
Taking to Truth Social, Trump unleashed a pointed attack on one of his most high-profile supporters. He wrote: “All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”

He went on to claim their relationship began souring when he told her she had no real chance of winning a Senate or governor’s race without his endorsement.
Trump further alleged that Greene was annoyed he no longer returned her calls: “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
He then signalled he was open to backing a challenger in her Georgia district, saying, “They will have my Complete and Unyielding Support.”
For a president to publicly distance himself from someone who arguably championed his agenda more loudly than almost anyone else is no small move, and it has sent ripples through the Republican grassroots.
Greene Hits Back: Trump ‘Lied About Me’
Greene responded swiftly on X, accusing Trump of misleading the public about her intentions and her communication with him. She posted: “President Trump just attacked me and lied about me.”
She also shared text messages she said involved discussions about releasing the Epstein files.
Greene suggested Trump was trying to intimidate Republicans ahead of next week’s expected vote: “Of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week’s vote to release the Epstein files.”
Calling Trump’s opposition “astonishing”, she suggested he was fighting harder to block the release of the Epstein records than to help ordinary Americans.
She added: “I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time… but I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.”
It was a stark message from someone widely known for her loyalty to Trump’s movement.
Growing Divide Within the MAGA Wing
This clash didn’t happen in isolation. Earlier in the week, Trump accused Greene of “catering to the other side” after she criticised his foreign policy priorities, labelling them “America First.”
With the Epstein documents resurfacing in public debate and both parties trading accusations of selective leaks, the issue has become a political grenade.
Democrats recently published emails they claim raise questions about Trump’s ties to Epstein. The White House said the emails were an attempt to “create a fake narrative.”
Republicans retaliated by releasing more than 20,000 pages of Epstein-related material, accusing Democrats of “cherry-picking.”
Why the Epstein Files Vote Matters?
Epstein failed in captivity in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Since both the public and political observers have pressed for full transparency about his connections, associates, and conditioning. For numerous Americans, the remaining sealed lines represent unanswered questions about who knew what, and when.
A full House vote on releasing the remaining documents would be a significant step, potentially exposing names, connections and dispatches that have noway been intimately scrutinised.
Greene argues voters deserve clarity. Trump argues the issue is being weaponised.
This disagreement now sits at the heart of the most visible split between the two since Greene first entered Congress, and its fallout is likely to shape Republican politics heading into the next election cycle.
A Party at a Crossroads
For now, the Trump-Greene feud leaves the GOP facing yet another internal battle. It pits two of the most open voices on the American right against each other at a moment when the party is formally scuffling with internal dissensions over policy direction, foreign involvement and translucency.
Greene says she’ll continue to push for the release of the remaining Epstein lines, while Trump appears determined to oppose it.
What happens coming, especially if a rival in her quarter emerges with Trump’s backing, could reshape the political geography for both numbers.
One thing is clear: what once looked like an unshakeable alliance between Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene has now fractured in full public view, with the Epstein documents at the centre of the storm.
