Marjorie Taylor Greene Threatens to Reveal Epstein Abusers

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said she’s willing to go on the House floor and identify the rich and powerful people who abused underage girls as part of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring.

The move by Greene would represent an astonishing development in the battle to expose secret details about Epstein’s operation that President Donald Trump and House Republican leaders have tried to suppress. And she could do it without facing legal consequences.

Members of Congress are protected by the US Constitution’s “speech or debate clause,” which grants them immunity from criminal and civil penalties for comments made in speeches on the House and Senate floors.

“I’ll be working with the women when they’re ready to put that list together,” Greene said at a Wednesday press conference with survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. “If they allow me to do so I’ll be happy to walk right in the Capitol and say them.”

Such a move would mark a significant break between Greene and Trump, who has repeatedly called the controversy surrounding the release of the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax.”

Trump has continued to be pressed about his previous relationship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 as he faced sex-trafficking charges.

Greene was one of two Republicans who joined the survivors of Epstein’s abusive operation at the Capitol, where they called for lawmakers to support legislation that would require the Justice Department to release files and documents in the government’s possession.

One survivor, Lisa Phillips, said she is working with others to compile a list of rich and powerful men who participated in Epstein’s abusive operation. Unlike Greene, however, the survivors could become subject of lawsuits from those they named.
