Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene announces resignation amid Epstein files dispute
US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced that she will resign from her position following a public falling out with former President Donald Trump. The dispute arose over Greene’s persistent demands for the release of documents related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes before his death.
Greene, a staunch Trump ally, had repeatedly pressed for greater transparency regarding the Epstein case, which she framed as a fight for justice. However, her stance reportedly clashed with Trump’s approach, leading to tensions between the former president and the congresswoman.
Political analysts note that Greene’s resignation highlights the broader challenges of navigating loyalty and political agendas within the Republican Party. The feud over Epstein-related files also underscores continuing public interest in the case, which has involved high-profile figures and led to numerous legal and congressional inquiries.
Greene’s departure leaves her congressional seat vacant, prompting speculation about potential successors and the impact on party dynamics, particularly among Trump-aligned lawmakers.
