• Greene helped force congressional vote on Epstein transparency law that Trump ultimately signed
  • Deputy Attorney General says only partial release coming Friday with more documents to follow
  • Congresswoman’s last day in office is January 5 after falling out with president over Epstein issue

WASHINGTON, D.C. (TDR) — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene knocks Trump and his Justice Department on Friday over the failure to fully release Jeffrey Epstein investigation files by the congressionally mandated deadline, firing off one of her final public criticisms before leaving office in January.

The Georgia Republican, whose feud with President Trump over the Epstein files contributed to her decision to resign from Congress, demanded immediate compliance with the law she helped pass.

“My goodness, what is in the Epstein files? Release all the files. It’s literally the law.”

The outgoing congresswoman was one of four Republicans who signed a discharge petition alongside Democrats to force a floor vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a move that drew fierce criticism from Trump before he ultimately reversed course and signed the legislation.

That law gave the Justice Department 30 days to publicly release all unclassified records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Friday marked the deadline.

Rep. Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who led efforts to force the vote alongside Greene, also reminded administration officials of their legal obligation.

“Time’s up. Release the files.”

Massie posted a screenshot of the legislation with the words “Not later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act” highlighted, emphasizing that partial compliance does not satisfy the law’s requirements.

Epstein Files Controversy Ended Greene’s Trump Alliance

Greene’s public battle over the Epstein documents precipitated a dramatic falling out with Donald Trump, ending what had been one of the most prominent political alliances in the Republican Party.

Trump initially dismissed demands to release the files as a “Democrat hoax” and urged Republicans to oppose the legislation. When Greene defied him by signing the discharge petition, Trump withdrew his endorsement and called her “Wacky” and a “ranting lunatic.”

In her November resignation announcement, Greene defended her decision to fight for the documents.

“Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.”

Greene’s last day in Congress will be January 5, 2026. She said she wanted to avoid a “hurtful and hateful primary” that Trump had threatened to wage against her.

Bipartisan Backlash Over Partial Release

Greene joins lawmakers from both parties in criticizing the administration’s decision to release documents on a rolling basis rather than meeting the statutory deadline.

Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina also called for complete release of the files, while Democratic lawmakers accused the administration of violating federal law.

Blanche attributed the staggered release to the need to review documents carefully to protect victim identities. The Justice Department enlisted attorneys from the National Security Division to conduct the review.

White House spokesperson Abigail Johnson defended the administration’s approach, claiming “the Trump Administration is the most transparent in history” and has “done more for the victims than Democrats ever have.”

Greene’s Political Future Remains Uncertain

The congresswoman who once defined the MAGA movement on Capitol Hill now finds herself on the outside looking in. Trump told reporters after her resignation announcement that it was “great news for the country,” though he later said he would “love” to see her return to politics eventually.

Rep. Ro Khanna, the California Democrat who partnered with Greene on the Epstein transparency effort, suggested she could remain a formidable political figure.

Some political observers speculate Greene could seek the presidency in 2028, positioning herself as the heir to the America First movement once Trump exits political life.

When a lawmaker’s final act in Congress is demanding her own party’s president follow the law, what does that say about the state of accountability in Washington?
