Former U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene made headlines during a CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins on June 11, 2026, where she accused former President Donald Trump of being a 'traitor.' Greene, who was once a staunch supporter of Trump, expressed her discontent over Trump's decision not to release additional files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which she argued was a betrayal of his promises to the MAGA base. Greene stated, 'They should be considered traitors,' referring to those who opposed the release of the Epstein files. When asked if her remarks included Trump, she affirmed, saying, 'I’m saying exactly that.' Greene's comments came after a series of tensions between her and Trump, including his derogatory nickname for her, 'Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown.' The interview highlighted the significant shift in Greene's stance towards Trump, which has evolved from loyal supporter to vocal critic. Greene's call for transparency regarding the Epstein files was a key issue that led to her breaking with party leadership, ultimately resulting in bipartisan support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law requiring the release of related documents. The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for a response.
