Marjorie Taylor Greene has found herself at odds with the White House over her support of bipartisan legislation to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene reportedly received a warning from a Trump official that supporting the legislation would be viewed as a “very hostile act.” Despite the pressure, Greene, along with other Republican representatives, signed a discharge petition to force the release of the files. The expected vote on the petition, which currently has 216 votes, could happen soon as Democrats push for its release, while Trump has distanced himself from Epstein and dismissed the efforts as a “Democrat hoax.”

Following pressure from Epstein’s survivors, Republican Representatives Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene have indicated a willingness to use constitutional immunity to publicly name individuals allegedly involved in Epstein’s abuse.

These representatives are protected under the “speech or debate clause,” allowing them to make such accusations on the House floor without legal repercussions.
