It's really come to this, huh? Once among President Donald Trump's most loyal allies in Congress, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has seen her relationship with the president deteriorate sharply in recent months, culminating in her announcement of resignation from the House effective January 5, 2026. The breakdown highlights emerging tensions within the Republican Party and the broader "America First" movement over issues of transparency, foreign policy priorities, and domestic focus.

The primary flashpoint has been the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan bill requiring the Department of Justice to publicly release all unclassified records related to the investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, including flight logs and internal communications. Greene was one of four Republicans who signed a discharge petition to force a House vote on the measure, defying initial opposition from Trump and GOP leadership. The president initially resisted the bill, dismissing calls for full disclosure and labeling supporters of the push as disloyal. He publicly withdrew his endorsement of Greene and referred to her as a "traitor" in statements.

Greene maintained that her stance was driven by a commitment to transparency for Epstein's victims and the public, arguing that no powerful individuals should be shielded. She stood alongside victims at press conferences and emphasized that the issue was not personal disloyalty. In a recent press conference, Greene directly addressed Trump's "traitor" accusation, stating, "I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for six years for. And I gave him my loyalty for free." She then offered her definition: "Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves." These remarks have sparked debate, with some observers interpreting them as an allusion to Trump prioritizing foreign interests, while others see them as a general defense of her position without direct accusation. After significant intraparty pressure, Trump reversed course, stating he would sign the legislation if it reached his desk. The bill passed both chambers with overwhelming support and was signed into law in November 2025.

Beyond the Epstein matter, Greene has voiced broader disagreements with Trump's administration on foreign policy. She has criticized what she describes as a shift away from strict "America First" principles, including U.S. involvement in international conflicts and support for Israel during its war in Gaza. Greene has referred to the situation in Gaza as involving genocide and a humanitarian crisis, while accusing the administration of prioritizing foreign interests over domestic needs like healthcare costs and economic relief for Americans. She has argued that resources should focus on U.S. issues first.

These differences have exposed fractures in the GOP coalition. Some Republicans view Greene's positions as principled stands on isolationism and accountability, while others see them as challenges to party unity and Trump's authority. Greene has reported facing increased threats and personal attacks amid the public feud, contributing to her decision to step down. She has described enduring years of intense scrutiny and stated a desire to return to private life.

The rift underscores ongoing debates within the Republican Party about the direction of "America First" policies in Trump's second term, balancing transparency demands, foreign aid commitments, and domestic priorities. As Greene prepares to leave Congress after five years, her departure marks a notable shift for a figure who rose prominently as a vocal Trump supporter.
