Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced a surprise resignation after a clash with US President Donald Trump over Epstein files.
According to Sky News, one of the most influential MAGA allies who recently turned into a fierce Trump critic in a shocking announcement revealed that she will be resigning from Congress.
In a statement on X, the US representative for Georgia said, "Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 and trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for."
“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she added.
She also confirmed that her last day in the office will be on January 20.
Reacting to Greene's decision Trump, who previously called her a “lunatic” and withdrew his support and endorsement for the 51-year-old, said that her resignation is “great news for the country.”
Greene’s five years in the Congress were full of controversies, as she was a big supporter of Trump and had a lot of influence.
