Greene says she's felt more pressure on Epstein petition than any other issue

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue.

“My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.”

“I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years old, that’s pretty black and white,” she added

The Georgia representative is one of only four Republican House members to sign a discharge petition that would force a vote on the full release of the Epstein case files. Greene continues to be a staunch backer of the president, but she has repeatedly broken with her party during his second term, on both the Epstein files and foreign policy issues.

She has previously stated getting “a lot” of pushback from the White House over supporting a discharge petition.

In recent months, the Trump administration has faced intense backlash over its handling of files linked to Epstein from both sides of the aisle. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday his delay in swearing in Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (Ariz.) was not linked to her upcoming signature on the discharge petition.

“It has nothing to do with that at all. We will swear her in when everybody gets back,” Johnson said at a press conference.

When asked about the timing of Grijalva’s swearing-in, Johnson said: “We’ll schedule it, I guess, whenever she wants. It has nothing to do with it.”

“The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I’m ready to get to work,” Grijalva said in a post on X Monday. “Swear me in NOW @SpeakerJohnson!”

On Monday, President Trump said he would need to talk to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and look over the case of Ghislaine Maxwell, a former associate of Epstein, in the wake of the Supreme Court declining to review her sex-trafficking conviction from 2021.
