At the core of the spat is their difference on handling the Jeffrey Epstein case. The President has called it a “hoax” while trying to deflect interest. It’s not working as voters appear unwilling to dismiss it.
Greene has continued to call for the release of the Epstein files. The White House has been skating around the issue ever since Attorney General Pam Bondi reversed on releasing them earlier this year. Something changed along the way as everyone from President Trump and AG Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel have gone from declaring all of the files should be released to stalling with “investigations” and trickling drops of information.
Greene and the President have been on opposites sides of the fence on other issues recently, including bombing Iran and H-1B visas. She has gone on mostly left-leaning shows and news outlets, including CNN and Bill Maher’s HBO program, to declare that she’s still supportive of President Trump but disagrees on some issues.
She’s not going to be singing his praises to media anymore. As she posted on X:
