Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has revealed what President Donald Trump told her after she threatened to identify some of those with ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Following a closed-door meeting with a number of survivors of Epstein’s sex abuse, she declared at a September press conference that — with the permission of the survivors — she would take to the House floor and “say every damn name” of men who abused them alongside the disgraced financier.
Trump later called Greene “to voice his displeasure,” according to a profile of Greene published by The New York Times on Monday, and his yelling over speakerphone was audible to all in her office.
After she reportedly expressed her “perplexity over his intransigence,” Trump responded, “My friends will get hurt.”
The new reporting from the Times comes a week before Greene, once a fierce MAGA advocate, is set to resign from Congress after her big break from Trump.
The phone call between Greene and Trump was their “last conversation,” the Times reported.
The president also reportedly turned down Greene’s request for him to invite Epstein survivors to the Oval Office, “angrily” telling the congresswoman that the women “had done nothing to merit the honor.”
Their call came before Greene joined a bipartisan push to force the Trump Justice Department to release all its files on Epstein.
Trump publicly attacked Greene on his social media platform in November and withdrew his endorsement of the congresswoman, who later claimed that her text to the president about the Epstein files “is what sent him over the edge.”
Greene told the Times that the Epstein files “represent everything wrong with Washington.”
“Rich, powerful elites doing horrible things and getting away with it,” she said. “And the women are the victims.”
