Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns
Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation. The senior Republican leader made the unexpected announcement just days after publicly clashing with US President Donald Trump. Greene, one of the faces of Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) campaign, announced her resignation in a video message posted on social media on Friday. In the message, Greene said that she would be leaving Congress on January 5 next year. Republican leader Greene was a staunch supporter of Trump in Congress.
However, she fell out with Trump over her repeated demands for the release of documents related to the case of notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Since then, Trump has been calling her close aide Greene a 'traitor'. In the video, Greene said, 'I'm not one of those people who just quietly tolerate things; those who hope that things will work out on their own.' Trump had threatened to support a Republican challenger against him to remove Green from Congress. After Green announced his resignation, Trump responded to this in an interview with ABC News.
He called it “great news for the country.” Green is one of the most vocal advocates for the release of Epstein-related documents in the United States.

The US president claims that this is being done to divert attention from the achievements of his administration. "I should not be labeled a traitor for speaking out on behalf of American women who were raped, trafficked, and abused by wealthy and powerful men at the age of 14. It is not right that I should be threatened by the very President of the United States

He has accused the president of not doing enough to reduce the cost of living for voters. He has criticized Trump's tax policies.
