Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, appeared on the podcast hosted by Owen Shroyer, a former InfoWars contributor, on February 13, 2026.
During the discussion, Greene stated that President Donald Trump's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files constituted his "biggest political miscalculation." She claimed Trump referred to the files as a "hoax" and "fought the hardest to stop these files from being released." Greene added, "And I know a lot of people have a hard time with that, but that is the truth. He fought the hardest."
According to Greene, Trump used then-Speaker Mike Johnson to stall the Epstein Files Transparency Act, blocking it from even getting a vote. Greene, along with Massie (Thomas Massie is the U.S. Representative for Kentucky's 4th Congressional District, a Republican who has served in Congress since November 2012.), Mace, and Boebert, voted with Democrats to force the issue.
The bill finally passed the House almost unanimously on November 15, 2025. Trump signed it into law a month later, but only because he had no other option.
The comments have deepened fractures within the MAGA movement. Trump withdrew his political endorsement of Greene on November 20, 2025, labeling her a "traitor" in response to her criticism. Greene announced her resignation from Congress effective January 3, 2026, citing the fallout over the Epstein files as a key factor.
At a press conference with Epstein survivors on November 21, 2025, she described the internal conflict as having "ripped MAGA apart" and urged full release of the documents, stating, "The only thing that will speak to the powerful, courageous women behind me is when action is actually taken to release these files."
Tensions escalated further when the Department of Justice sent a letter to Congress on February 14, 2026, listing names purportedly appearing in the Epstein files, including Greene, Massie, Mace, and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of California. The letter, signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Counsel Todd Blanche, also named deceased individuals, such as singer Janice Joplin, who died in 1970.
Greene dismissed the list as inaccurate on X that evening, writing, "Release the full files. Stop protecting predators. Redact only the survivor's names."
Massie, appearing on ABC News' This Week on said, "This is the Epstein administration, and they are attacking me for trying to get these files released."
