Trump cuts ties with 'Wacky' Marjorie Taylor Greene after she backs release of Epstein files

Donald Trump has withdrawn support for Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene - which she claims is over her support for releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein.

In comments made on Truth Social, Mr Trump said he would support any challenger who wants to take Ms Greene's seat in Georgia. It comes after weeks of the MAGA ally breaking ranks from the president - and according to a post on X after his withdrawal, she believes it's over a possible vote on releasing all of the Epstein files.

While such a vote does not yet have a date, Mr Trump has called the files a "hoax" and accused the Democrats of using them "to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN".

Earlier this week, thousands of documents from Epstein were released, which reference Mr Trump, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, among others.

"It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn't have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement - which she wasn't about to get!)." The president went on to claim "she has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore.
