ATLANTA, GEORGIA- December 8, 2025
Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a series of direct on-camera statements regarding her resignation from the United States House of Representatives, her break with former President Donald Trump, and her claims that her family received threats following her disputes with him. The remarks were recorded in a published interview released by 60 MINUTES, and the statements she provided during the broadcast constitute the first-hand information presently available concerning her decision to leave Congress before the end of her term.
Greene stated in her own words that the choice to resign was sudden and that it followed a period in which she no longer believed she could continue under the political conditions surrounding her office. She said that her longstanding alignment with the former President deteriorated after disagreements involving the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically her decision to support the release of the Epstein files. According to her own description, the dispute escalated when President Trump publicly criticized her, including calling her a traitor. She said directly that this marked a turning point, stating that the environment changed for her after that moment.
In her remarks, Greene stated that after the public dispute she received a pipe bomb threat targeting her house and that she also received what she described as direct death threats aimed at her son. She said on camera that the subject line of the threats used the phrase “Marjorie Trader Greene,” which she connected to the terminology the former President used publicly. She said she forwarded those threats to individuals within President Trump’s circle and that she received a written response from him which she described only as unkind. She declined to disclose the contents of that response during the recorded interview.
Her remarks also included descriptions of specific policy disagreements; she stated that she believed President Trump had shifted toward what she called establishment positions and that she viewed several of his recent decisions as serving powerful interests rather than the America First platform under which she had campaigned. She cited examples that included foreign policy decisions, positions involving Israel, and legislation connected to cryptocurrency donors. These claims were made by Greene herself and represent her own characterization of the disputes between her and the former President.
Greene also said that she supported women who alleged abuse within the Epstein case and that she believed their accounts deserved to be fully heard. She stated that her support for releasing the files contributed to her conflict with the former President. When describing the matter, she said she had personally witnessed the women’s distress when they spoke publicly and that she felt that their accounts warranted attention at the highest levels, including within the White House.
The interview additionally included her comments regarding her own political conduct. Greene said that she regretted participating in what she described as the toxic political culture of recent years, though she also disputed the characterization that she had been a contributor to incivility in the manner suggested by the interviewer. She said that members of Congress often operated under fear of public criticism from the former President and that behind the scenes many of them spoke differently about him than in public. She also spoke about her disagreements with congressional spending processes and said that her district continues to experience affordability challenges.
In the interview, Greene said directly that she does not intend to run for any other political office and that she does not possess a political plan or future ambition at this time. She said that others often assume she intends to seek another position despite her repeated statements to the contrary. She also said that she identifies as America First rather than MAGA, distinguishing her personal platform from the former President’s terminology.
The statements provided by Greene during the published interview represent the only first-hand information currently available regarding her resignation and the circumstances she described. All other characterizations, commentary, or interpretations fall outside the scope of verifiable first-hand sourcing, and therefore the information presented here is limited exclusively to the remarks she made in her recorded on-camera statements released by 60 MINUTES.
