US President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claim that his recent attacks had triggered threats against her. “I don’t think her life is in danger… I don’t think anybody cares about her,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One for Washington, according to Reuters.He again referred to her as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene,” repeating an insult that Greene said had been the “most hurtful” part of his remarks.Greene said on Saturday that Trump’s online criticism had unleashed a surge of threats, adding that she had been contacted by private security firms warning her about safety concerns.

The fallout marks a rupture between two figures once seen as political allies. Greene, a Georgia Republican known for her staunch support of Trump in the past, said the rift stems from her push to release federal records related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.Trump has dismissed the controversy around Epstein as a Democratic “hoax”. Greene, however, was one of only four House Republicans who joined Democrats last week in signing a petition to force a vote on releasing the full Justice Department files, Reuters reported.The feud intensified on Friday when Trump posted a blistering message on social media calling Greene “Wacky” and a “ranting lunatic” who complained that he would not take her calls. Over the weekend, he continued to berate her online, labelling the congresswoman a “Lightweight”, “Traitor” and a “disgrace” to the Republican Party. Trump also suggested that voters in her district should consider a primary challenger and said he would support “the right candidate”.

But despite the deepening row, Trump wrote on Sunday night that House Republicans “should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide…”

During an interview with CNN‘s State of the Union on Sunday, Greene said she still supports President Trump but added that she doesn’t support the Trump administration’s efforts to keep the Epstein files under the wraps. She said attacks by the US president are propagating toxic in-fighting in politics, while putting her safety at risk.

“He called me a USAtraitor, and that is so extremely wrong, and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” Greene told CNN. “I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country. It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”

USA Washington:

US President Donald Trump has urged House Republicans to vote in favour of releasing the Jeffrey Epstein USA files. Taking to Truth Social, the US president said he has nothing to hide and called for the release of the files as it's "time to move on."USA This marks a sharp shift, as Trump had earlier criticised calls, including from some Republicans, to release all case documents related to Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

USA House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files: Trump

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

He further accused Democrats of pushing what he called an "Epstein hoax," reacting to recently surfaced emails in which disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggested that Trump "knew about the girls." "And it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat 'Shutdown'."

"The House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that USA Republicans get BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, “Affordability” (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more!" Trump added further.

The US president also stated that 'nobody cared about Epstein when he was alive." He further targeted Democrats and accused them of delaying the release of the files. The president also stated that some members of the "Republican party are being used", referring to his public fallout and feud with Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene.

US House of Representatives to vote

The US House of Representatives is expected to vote in the coming days on whether to release additional sealed files and investigative documents related to Epstein's network, CNN reported.

The USA vote follows months of delays and disagreements within the Republican Party, with some members demanding full transparency and others cautioning against releasing sensitive information.Meanwhile, survivors of Epstein's abuse have launched a last-minute, emotional campaign urging lawmakers to release the files.A public service announcement created by the advocacy group World Without Exploitation was released on Sunday, featuring survivors holding photos of themselves as teenagers, the age at which they say Epstein first targeted them."I suffered so much pain," several survivors say through tears, before revealing they were 14, 16 or 17 when they met Epstein."There are about a thousand of us," one survivor says. Another adds: "It's time to bring the secrets out of the shadows, " CNN quoted.

The video has intensified public pressure on House Republicans ahead of the vote, with survivors saying full transparency is essential for accountability.The Epstein files issue has become a point of political friction in Washington. While Democrats have pushed for full disclosure, Trump now says the matter is being used as a political weapon and insists Republicans should "move on" and highlight their achievements. US President Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, in a reversal from his previous position."House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.The major shift in Trump's stance comes as potentially dozens of Republicans signalled they were willing to break ranks, and vote for the release of the documents.

The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would compel the justice department to publicly release the files. Supporters of the bill appear to have enough votes for it to pass the House, though it is unclear whether it would pass the Senate.Trump would also have to sign off on the release of the documents if it passes both chambers.Both Democrats and some Republicans have been backing the legislation. Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that as many as 100 Republicans could vote in favour.Known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the aim of the bill is to make the justice department release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials linked to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.Trump posted the statement shortly after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

"The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on "Epstein," are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON'T CARE!," Trump wrote, adding that he wanted Republicans to get "BACK ON POINT".

Trump's reference to Clinton comes after the US justice department confirmed it will investigate Epstein's alleged links to major banks and several prominent Democrats, including the former US president.

The names of Hoffman, who is the founder of LinkedIn and a prominent Democratic donor, and Summers, former President Bill Clinton's treasury secretary, both appeared in the release.

A representative for Summers told the Wall Street Journal in 2023 that the former official "deeply regrets being in contact with Epstein after his conviction".On social media on Friday night, Hoffman said: "I was never a client of Epstein's and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology]." He called on Trump to release the files.

Trump said he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to look into Epstein's "involvement and relationship" with Clinton and others.Clinton has strongly denied he had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.Trump's reversal comes after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee last week published three email exchanges, including correspondence between Epstein, who died in 2019 in prison, and his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

USA Some of those exchanges make references to Trump. In one email, sent in 2011, Epstein writes to Maxwell: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him."Hours after the release of those exchanges, House Republicans released a far larger tranche of 20,000 files to counter what they said was a Democratic effort to "cherry-pick" documents. They also said it was an attempt to "create a fake narrative to slander President Trump".

The House of Representatives then announced there would be a vote next week on a much wider release of Epstein material.In his comments on Sunday night, Trump repeated White House dismissals of the Epstein files as a Democrat-led "hoax". His post came after House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested in comments to Fox News that a vote on releasing the USA documents would put to rest allegations that Trump had any connection to Epstein's abuse and trafficking of teenage children.Trump and Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, traditionally one of his fiercest defenders, have been feuding publicly over the files.

On Friday, Trump called Greene "wacky" in social media posts and said she should be unseated in next year's elections. On Saturday, he called her a "traitor".Greene in turn questioned whether Trump was still putting "America First" and criticised his handling of the Epstein files.

In a letter addressed to Congress, Epstein survivors and the family of Virginia Giuffre - a prominent Epstein accuser - called for US lawmakers to vote in favour of releasing the files."Remember that your primary duty is to your constituents. Look into the eyes of your children, your sisters, your mothers, and your aunts," the letter reads."Imagine if they had been preyed upon. Imagine if you yourself were a survivor. What would you want for them? What would you want for yourself? When you vote, we will remember your decision at the ballot box."

WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged his fellow Republicans in Congress to vote for the release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, reversing his earlier resistance to such a move.Trump's post on his Truth Social came after House Speaker Mike Johnson said earlier that he believed a vote on releasing Justice Department documents in the Epstein case should help put to rest allegations that Trump had any connection to Epstein's abuse and trafficking of underage girls.

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Sunday night. "And it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat 'Shutdown'."

Although Trump and Epstein were photographed together decades ago, the president has said the two men fell out before Epstein's convictions. Emails released last week by a House committee showed the disgraced financier believed Trump "knew about the girls," though it was not clear what that phrase meant.

Trump, who has recently dismissed the Epstein files as a Democratic smear campaign, has since instructed the Department of Justice to investigate prominent Democrats' ties to Epstein.
The battle over disclosure of more Epstein-related documents, a subject Trump himself campaigned on, has opened a rift with some of his allies in Congress.
Many of Trump's most loyal supporters believe the government is withholding sensitive documents about Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in jail in 2019, that would reveal the late financier's ties to powerful public figures.
Trump late on Friday withdrew his support for U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, long one of his staunchest supporters in Congress, following her criticism of Republicans on certain issues, including the handling of the Epstein files.

U.S. Representative Ro Khanna, a USA California Democrat and an original sponsor of the USA petition calling for a vote on the USA files' release, said on Sunday that he expected more than 40 Republicans to vote in favor.
