Overview
- Marjorie Taylor Greene told multiple interviews that she sent copies of credible death threats aimed at her and her son to President Trump and senior White House aides and that Trump replied, 'It's your fault and you deserve it,' a response she says is documented in text messages she possesses.
- Greene said the threats began after she signed a House discharge petition to force fuller release of files connected to Jeffrey Epstein and after Trump publicly called her a 'traitor' for refusing to withdraw her name.
- Greene has not publicly released the text-message evidence she cites and independent verification of the messages has not been reported by outlets covering her claims.
- Congress enacted the Epstein Files Transparency Act and the Department of Justice released roughly 3.5 million pages of responsive records, but Greene and others continue to press about redactions and material they say remains withheld.
- News outlets on the left and right have both reported Greene's allegations, and the charges could raise new scrutiny of who pressured lawmakers to block fuller disclosure and what political fallout that pressure may cause inside the GOP.
