Marjorie Taylor Greene rebukes Trump after Epstein records go public: 'This is horrifying'
Warning: Graphic content, readers’ discretion advised
WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday, December 23, publicly criticized President Donald Trump following the Justice Department’s release of a new trove of records related to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Georgia Republican reacted within hours of the documents becoming public, using social media to express outrage over victim testimony included in the latest batch of Epstein-related files.
Greene’s comments referenced records that contained repeated mentions of Trump. But Trump has repeatedly denied any allegations of wrongdoing and has said that he ended his association with Epstein sometime between 2004 and 2007.
The newly released documents were published by the Department of Justice under the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act', which mandated the disclosure of unclassified records while requiring efforts to protect the identities of survivors.

In a post on X, Greene said that the contents of the documents were disturbing, pointing specifically to testimony from one Epstein survivor.
"This is horrifying," Greene wrote. "Trump called me a traitor for fighting him to release the Epstein files and standing with women who were r***d, j***ed in stalls, and t******ked to men."
Greene highlighted portions of testimony in which an alleged survivor described being confined in a stall and evaluated on her appearance by Epstein and other men.
One account included a statement attributed to Epstein in which the victim said that he allegedly told her that she was "fat and ugly."
"Only evil people would hide this and protect those who participated," Greene added in her post. "I pray for these women."
The congresswoman did not accuse Trump of participating in Epstein’s crimes. Previous reporting has noted that Trump was never charged in connection with Epstein’s cases and has maintained that he cooperated with authorities.
Former Trump ally steps down amid party rift
The congresswoman sided with Democratic lawmakers earlier this year in pushing for the public release of Epstein-related records, a move that drew criticism from Trump and his allies.
Greene announced last month that she would resign from Congress, citing a desire to avoid what she described as a ‘hateful primary’ challenge backed by the president.
Her final day in office is scheduled for January 5, 2026.
The Department of Justice has said that it made ‘reasonable efforts’ to redact personal information to protect survivors while complying with the law requiring the release of unclassified Epstein records.
