Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has disclosed what she says was a stark response from President Donald Trump after she threatened to publicly name individuals connected to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The revelation follows a closed-door meeting Greene held with survivors of Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Speaking at a press conference in September, she said that, with the survivors’ consent, she intended to stand on the House floor and “say every damn name” of those who abused them alongside Epstein.
According to a profile published by The New York Times on Monday, Trump later phoned Greene to express his anger. His raised voice, reportedly broadcast over speakerphone, was heard throughout her office as he voiced his displeasure.
Trump’s Alleged Warning Over Epstein Names
After Greene questioned what she described as Trump’s resistance to her plan, she says he replied bluntly: “My friends will get hurt.”
The Times reports that this phone call marked the final conversation between Greene and Trump.
It also details how the president rejected Greene’s request to invite Epstein survivors to the Oval Office, allegedly responding angrily and saying the women “had done nothing to merit the honour.”

The disclosure comes just days before Greene, once a prominent supporter of the MAGA movement, is due to step down from Congress following her public split with Trump.
The call reportedly took place before Greene joined a bipartisan effort pressing Trump’s Justice Department to release all files linked to Epstein.
In November, Trump criticised Greene on his social media platform and withdrew his endorsement of her. Greene later said a text she sent him about the Epstein documents “is what sent him over the edge.”
Greene’s View on the Epstein Files
Speaking to The New York Times, Greene said 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,” she said.
