‘My friends will get hurt!’: Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump ordered her to abandon Epstein victims to protect his friends

"Rich, powerful elites doing horrible things and getting away with it."

Throughout the 2024 election campaign, Donald Trump was adamant that only he would expose the wealthy, disgusting perverts who made up Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle. Then, after returning to the Oval Office, he had a grim realization: ‘Oh no! I’m a wealthy, disgusting pervert who was in Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle!’

The brakes were slammed on the files being released and, all too soon, the MAGA Republicans who’d been clamoring for the Epstein files to be released performed a humiliating flip-flop to protect Trump. But, to her credit, Marjorie Taylor Greene stood firm.

Despite immense pressure from her party, she was steadfast in fighting for Epstein’s victims and the full disclosure of who was wrapped up in his disgusting web of sin, successfully pushing for the files release. Now we have an idea of just how direct that pressure was.

Greene is leaving DC imminently, but is clearly going out swinging. In a bombshell interview with The New York Times that leaves no bridge unburnt, she underlines that “it was Epstein” that fractured her relationship with Trump. As she put it:

“The Epstein files represent everything wrong with Washington. Rich, powerful elites doing horrible things and getting away with it. And the women are the victims.”

Her work in fighting to get the files released saw her receive a furious phone call from Trump himself, apparently deeply frustrated with Greene continuing to push for justice for Epstein’s victims. As recounted to the NYT, she put him on speakerphone so the whole office could hear his frantic pleading.

Greene pointed out that Trump himself had repeatedly promised to release these files, only for Trump to yell in response: “My friends will get hurt!” Greene then suggested inviting Epstein victims to the Oval Office, to which he apparently replied they hadn’t earned that privilege.

Break out the tiny violin for the sick elites who prey on children…

It says a lot that Trump’s argument for not releasing the Epstein files wasn’t because of any legal, ethical or philosophical objection, but because it would make him and his friends – who were close associates of modern history’s most notorious pedophile – look bad.

The White House has dismissed Greene’s account as “petty bitterness” without denying the call happened (likely because there are multiple witnesses who heard it). White House spokesperson Davis Ingle has said, “Congresswoman Greene is quitting on her constituents in the middle of her term and abandoning the consequential fight we’re in.”

Yeah, well, if you’re fighting alongside immensely wealthy perverts fighting to cover up their disgusting activities with underage girls, maybe – just maybe – it’s time to switch sides.
