MTG Alleges Trump Raged During Epstein Fight, Said ‘My Friends Will Get Hurt’
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that President Donald Trump told her, “My friends would be hurt” if she identified the attackers in the Epstein files, according to the New York Times on Monday.
Greene told the outlet that the president expressed his frustration in a phone call in September, with his aides saying they could hear the president yelling angrily at him throughout his Capitol Hill office as they spoke on speakerphone. Trump’s anger came after Greene participated in a closed-door House Oversight Committee hearing with Epstein’s victims before holding a news conference in which she threatened to collect the names of the attackers from victims and publicly identify them.

Greene, who found the victims’ stories “entirely credible,” also called for the women to be invited to the Oval Office; she told the Times that Trump said they didn’t deserve the honor. This interaction would have been the last conversation she had with the president.
“Congresswoman Greene is abandoning her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the consequential fight we’re in — we don’t have time for her petty bitterness,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
After the phone call, Greene decided to join forces with fellow Reps. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, and Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, to advance a release petition calling on the Justice Department to release their records relating to Jeffrey Epstein. She said the cover-up of widespread assaults and apparent obstruction of justice “is everything that is wrong with Washington,” according to the newspaper.
The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the law, called the Epstein Files Transparency Act, by a vote of 427 to 1 on November 18, which has since prompted the DOJ to release an avalanche of documents, videos and communications relating to Epstein and his associates.
The DOJ, however, failed to release all of its records by the Dec. 19 deadline set by the Transparency Act because it released the records in a staggered manner and this will continue through 2026. Once the deadline passes, Massie and Khanna said they would consider holding Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt, and Khanna also raised the possibility of impeaching Bondi.
“The quickest, and I think the quickest, way to get justice for these victims is to inflict inherent contempt on Pam Bondi,” Massie said on CBS on Dec. 21.
Greene’s office did not immediately respond to DCNF’s request for comment.
