Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Epstein Files and a MAGA Feud

On this vote, the yeas are 427. The nays are one. Yesterday, the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The bill is passed, and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Hours later, the senate, via unanimous consent, also voted to approve it. HR four four zero five, an act to require the attorney general to release all documents and records in possession of the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein and for other purposes. President Trump is expected to sign it. It was a stunning moment in a months long drama over these files. And it was also the culmination of the first major rift between Trump and members of his own party. Here's our colleague, Olivia Beavers. She covers Congress. Well, it's very unusual, especially in president Trump's second term, for Republicans to completely buck him. But there were four Republicans who said, we're not gonna back off on our fight to release these Epstein docs. But there is only one who seems to be having a total fallout with president Trump that she claims is a result of it, and that is Marjorie Taylor Greene. And and to hold what we consider a corrupt government accountable, watching this actually turn into a fight has ripped MAGA apart. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the firebrand congresswoman from Georgia who's been a leading figure in the make America great again movement and who until recently was also a fierce Trump loyalist. How would you describe the arc of her relationship with president Trump? Well, I think she went from his number one defender to now being called a traitor by the president. I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for five no. Actually, six years for, and I gave him my loyalty for free. And right now, we are in Split City. The implosion has happened.
