In a surprise move, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced her resignation from the House of Representatives, citing concerns over a potential primary challenge from a Trump-endorsed opponent. The decision comes after Greene faced backlash from former President Donald Trump for her support of a bill requiring the release of Jeffrey Epstein documents. According to Greene's statement, she cited Trump's criticism of her stance on the bill as a factor in her decision to leave office. The bill, which was approved by the House and Senate, mandated the release of Epstein documents and was signed into law by Trump. In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Greene a 'traitor' for her support of the bill, stating that her relationship with Republican Representative Tom Massie of Kentucky, who backed the legislation, was a major contributor to her downfall. Trump also blasted Massie as the 'worst Republican Congressman in decades.' Greene's resignation is set to take effect on January 5. Trump expressed gratitude for her service to the country but made it clear that he would support a primary challenger in the Republican primary next year for her position representing Georgia's 14th District.
