Resignation and Repercussions: Greene’s Split from Trump Roils D.C.

A growing rift between President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has culminated in Greene’s announcement that she will resign from Congress in January 2026. Once a staunch Trump ally, Greene cited his efforts to block the release of Jeffrey Epstein files as a key reason for her departure.

Greene’s decision came after she publicly aligned herself with victims seeking transparency and justice. She appeared at a Capitol press conference supporting the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” directly challenging Trump’s stance.

The fallout has sparked debate within the Republican Party, with Greene warning that Trump’s interference could cost conservatives credibility and votes in upcoming elections. Her resignation marks a rare break from MAGA ranks.

Meanwhile, Trump stirred fresh controversy online by claiming that documents signed by autopen under President Biden are now “terminated.” Legal experts are divided on the validity and implications of this assertion, with some calling it symbolic and others warning of constitutional confusion.

These developments underscore the volatility of Trump’s second term, marked by bold declarations and internal party fractures. His actions continue to dominate headlines and provoke strong reactions across the political spectrum.
