Prominent Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a leading figure of the far-right in Congress, announced on Friday that she will step down from her position.

The move comes just a week after former President Donald Trump withdrew his support for her over a disagreement related to the "Epstein files."

"Humiliated in Washington"

In a video posted online, the 51-year-old Georgia representative stated, "I have always been humiliated in Washington, D.C., and I never fit in."

Greene confirmed that she will resign, specifying that her last working day will be January 5, 2026. She cited her desire to spare both her supporters and family from what she described as “a painful and hateful primary election” that could be initiated against her by the very president she once fought so hard for.

Trump: From "Ally" to "Traitor"

Greene was previously considered one of the most vocal members of Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. However, their alliance abruptly ended on November 7 when Trump officially revoked his endorsement.

Following his announcement, Trump launched a series of scathing attacks against Greene on his Truth Social platform. He labeled her as “lightweight” and even described her as “a traitor” to the Republican Party. Greene indicated that this backlash led to a wave of threats directed at her.

Roots of the Dispute: The Epstein Case

This sharp division traces back to differing positions regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case.

Defending herself, Greene said: “Standing up for American women who were raped at age fourteen should not result in me being called a traitor or threatened by the President of the United States.”

Her resignation serves as perhaps the clearest indication yet of deepening rifts within the MAGA movement-especially as Trump appears to distance himself from some previous stances concerning Epstein’s network and its connections to American elites.
