US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Friday that she will resign from the House of Representatives, effective January 5, following a dramatic falling out with President Donald Trump.
Greene, a Republican from Georgia, was once one of Trump’s closest allies and a vocal supporter of his “America First” agenda. However, tensions between the two escalated in recent months over the release of government files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and other matters.
In a 10-minute video posted on social media, Greene said, "I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms."
She added, "I refuse to be a battered wife hoping it all goes away and gets better."
In response, Trump told ABC News that Greene’s resignation was "great news for the country. It's great."
