Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a text message she sent to President Donald Trump that she believes “sent him over the edge” and prompted him to attack her on social media.
On Friday, the simmering tension between the two came to a boil amid newly released emails from dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a longtime friend of Trump’s. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on Tuesday on a bill that would require the Department of Justice to release its files relating to Epstein, who authorities say committed suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

Greene was one of just four Republicans to sign a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill, which is expected to pass.
On Friday night, Trump slammed Greene in a Truth Social post, calling her “wacky” and a “ranting lunatic” while also stating that he is “withdrawing my support and Endorsement” of her.
It did not take Greene long to respond. Posting on X, she wrote a lengthy rebuttal and included a screenshot of a text message that she says she sent to Trump that the congresswoman said “sent him over the edge”:
President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. Apparently this is what sent him over the edge.
The Epstein files.
And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files.
It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.
But really most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream.
That’s what I voted for.
I have supported President 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.
But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump.
I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people.
I remain the same today as I’ve always been and I will continue to pray this administration will be successful because the American people desperately deserve what they voted for.
For me, I remain America First and America Only!!!
Greene included a screenshot of a text to the president in which she urged him to investigate Epstein’s ties to the Clintons.

The congresswoman added another screenshot of a response from “Natalie,” who texted “THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN HOAX.” “Natalie” has the initials “NH,” which is possibly a message from Natalie Harp, the executive assistant to the president.

Greene responded by noting that she has repeatedly said Trump did nothing wrong, and added that the raping of teenage girls “is not a hoax.”
In one of the emails released this week, Epstein alleged in 2011 that Trump “knew about the girls.” The email did not elaborate, but given Epstein’s penchant for underage girls, the comment raises clear questions about what Trump knew of his activities.

In another email, Epstein said President Donald Trump “spent hours at my house” with Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim who said she never saw Trump doing anything illegal. Giuffre committed suicide in April. Elsewhere, Epstein claimed he “gave” his ex-girlfriend to Trump.
