Marjorie Taylor Greene says her safety 'at risk' as she clashes with Trump over Epstein Files

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch Maga supporter and longtime Republican ally, said on Saturday that she had been contacted by private security firms “with warnings for my safety”. Greene’s statement came after Trump announced on Friday that he was withdrawing his support and endorsement of the Georgia representative.

“A hotbed of threats against me is being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world”, Greene wrote in the post, without referring to Trump by name, adding it was “the man I supported and helped get elected”.

Greene maintained that the “aggressive rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and multiple convictions of men who were radicalised by the same type of rhetoric being directed at me right now. This time by the President of the United States.” However, she did not specify any particular threats she has received from the security firms.

“As a woman, I take threats from men seriously. I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel," she wrote.

In a later post on X, Greene posted a chart of rising average grocery bills, calling it “the ultimate warning to all of my Republican colleagues” and equating cost-of-living pressures to a vote in Congress over the release of further Epstein files next week. “You vote NO on Tuesday to release the Epstein files and face severe outrage from America,” she warned. “Republicans don’t have support from women, and this right here is a perfect example of why," she furthered.

Greene has been engaged in the war of words with Trump, primarily over the release of government-held documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, which Greene supports. “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!” Trump fumed on social media, a day after ending his support for Greene, calling her “Wacky Marjorie” and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in the next midterm election “if the right person runs”.

The dispute between the two, simmering for months, broke out after she found herself opposing Trump on a series of issues, including US military aid to Israel, the government shutdown and the so-called “Epstein files”.

This led to Trump accusing her of going “Far Left” as she offered a series of dissenting opinions against the MAGA mainstream. Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months was “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!” adding: “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”

Greene responded to this by saying she had supported Trump “with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him”. Greene added, “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.” As the two continue to clash online, Greene has been raising fears for her security.
