Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) slammed President Donald Trump for the role she claims he played in fighting to stop the release of the Epstein Files following a bombshell report in The New York Times.

Appearing on CNN’s “The Source With Kaitlan Collins” on Wednesday, the former congresswoman sounded off on the lawmakers who fought to keep the Epstein Files under wraps.

“They should be considered traitors,” Greene said. “They’re traitors, the ones that refused to release the Epstein Files, want to cover up for pedophiles and rapists and all sorts of disgusting things in these files. Those are the traitors to the American people, and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Greene, whom Trump branded “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown,” was asked whether her statement also applied to the president.

“I’m saying exactly that. He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt and that’s why he’s against releasing the Epstein Files,” Greene said. “And I think we’ve seen a lot of that dribble out. So yeah, it all matches, it completely adds up. From the phone call I had with the president, to this report that is coming out, it totally, it all lines up.”

Collins said she found it “pretty remarkable” to hear Greene, a once fierce ally of Trump, calling him a “traitor.”

“What is remarkable to me is that this administration, people that we voted for, demanding transparency, the man that campaigned all over the country, claiming that he would be the one to drain the swamp, is the very man that fought to keep the Epstein Files from being released,” Greene said.

“And then he, in turn, called me the traitor, cause I fought to release the Epstein Files,” she added.

Greene and Trump had a public falling-out last year over the files, which eventually led to her decision resigning from Congress.
