Reference News Network, November 23 report: According to Russia Today website on November 22, the U.S. magazine Time quoted two people who had direct conversations with Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right Republican congresswoman from Georgia, saying that Greene has privately told her allies that she is considering running for president in 2028.
This week, Greene said she will resign from her congressional seat in January next year. Several days earlier, President Trump called her a "traitor" because Greene distanced herself from Trump and helped push the Department of Justice to release documents related to the disreputable financier and sex offender Epstein.
The report said Greene did not respond to multiple calls and text messages from Time, and the spokesperson for her congressional office also did not reply to inquiries.
Greene rose to prominence for staunchly defending Trump, but in recent months unexpectedly became a critic of Trump. In addition to forcing the Department of Justice to release unredacted documents related to Epstein, she also questioned Trump's assertion that "costs of living are declining" and criticized his handling of U.S.-Israel relations.
After Trump accused her of turning "left-wing," Greene again stated her determination to "end political infighting." She said, "The most hurtful and completely false thing Trump has ever said is calling me a 'traitor.'" She also warned that such statements could "drive people to extremism," endangering her life.
Greene said she will continue to fight to get the Department of Justice to release all unredacted documents related to Epstein. Meanwhile, Trump urged Republicans not to help Democrats spread what he called the "Epstein hoax," claiming that the Democratic opponents' actions aim to undermine his administration.
