MTG makes bombshell conspiracy claim against the DOJ over Epstein files in anti-Trump rant: Live updates

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested the ‘real fight’ will happen after the House votes to release the Epstein files and questioned if the Justice Department will share the documents in full.

‘The real test will be: will the Department of Justice release the files, or will it all remain tied up in investigations?’ she said a press conference with Epstein survivors Tuesday morning.

Donald Trump ordered US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday to launch an official investigation into prominent Democrats linked to the disgraced financier.

Supporters of the bill to release the Epstein files have called the probe a ‘smokescreen’ to prevent them from being shared.

Earlier in the press conference, Greene addressed her falling out with Trump over the Epstein files.

‘I’ve never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for the policies and for America first, and he called me a “traitor” for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition,’ she said.

‘A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.’

President Donald Trump is welcoming Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House today.

It is the Prince’s first visit to the White House in seven years. The visit cannot be classified as a state visit as Prince bin Salman is not Saudi Arabia’s head of state.

The two leaders are expected to hold a meeting at Trump’s Oval Office later. Trump is said to be fostering a relationship with Prince bin Salman in hopes of establishing diplomatic ties with Israel.

Bin Salman was met with a welcome ceremony this morning and will be hosted for dinner this evening.

Australia’s US ambassador Kevin Rudd has tapped a defamation lawyer to defend himself from any suggestion he met notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, rejecting as false a document that suggested they once attended the same cocktail party.

Republican representative Thomas Massie warned the Senate to not ‘muck’ up the Epstein bill after it passes the House on Tuesday afternoon.

‘It may be tempting for them to get cute and to do things that will limit the release of these documents,’ Massie said.

‘They are afraid that people will be embarrassed. Well, that’s the whole point here. They need to be brought to justice, and embarrassment is no reason to stop it.’

Donald Trump once called Jeffrey Epstein a ‘terrific guy,’ but changed his tune over the years after the disgraced financier was charged by federal prosecutors in New York for sex trafficking.

The two were friends throughout the 1980s and 90s, and were frequently photographed together out in the social scene.

However, two years later the pair allegedly had a falling out over a property fight.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie says House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to ‘save face’ after opting to vote for the Epstein files bill which he had ‘disparaged for four months.’

Massie continued by adding: ‘However, he wants to come onboard, we need him to come onboard.’

Johnson indicated on Monday that he would vote yes on unsealing the documents on the condition that the Senate make changes so that ‘we have the protection of victims and whistleblowers.’

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said the rift over the Epstein files has torn apart the Make America Great Again movement.

‘This has been one of the most destructive things to MAGA. Watching the man that we supported early on, three elections, for people who stood hours, slept in their cars to go to rallies, have fought for truth and transparency, and to hold what we consider a corrupt government accountable, watching this actually turn into a fight has ripped MAGA apart,’ she said.

‘The only thing that will speak to the powerful, courageous women behind me is when action is actually taken to release these files, and the American people won’t tolerate any other b******t.’

Virginia Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, gave an emotional statement about his late sister and encouraged Congress to release the Epstein files.

‘My sister is not a political tool for you to use. These survivors are not political tools for you to use. These are real stories, real trauma,’ he said.

‘We will not let Virginia’s fight be in vain together. We will not let the predators win together.’

He told Congress to ‘vote yes’ on releasing the Epstein files.

The Daily Mail can reveal that new witnesses – both men and women – are now claiming that Jeffrey Epstein also used his sprawling New Mexico ranch to conduct nonconsensual medical procedures to advance his alleged interest in selective breeding.

The House of Representatives will hold its vote on compelling the Justice Department to release all of its files related to Jeffrey Epstein at 2pm ET, according to CNN.

The bill is expected to receive ‘overwhelming’ support, Representative Ro Khanna said at the Epstein survivors’ press conference this morning.

Once it passes the House, the bill will go to the Senate, where leadership has not committed to holding a vote.

If it passes in both the House and Senate, Donald Trump has said he would sign the bill.

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Haley Robson addressed Donald Trump while speaking a press conference on Capitol Hill this morning.

‘And to the president of the United States of America, who is not here today, I want to send a clear message to you,’ Robson said.

‘While I do understand that your position has changed on the Epstein files, and I’m grateful that you have pledged to sign this bill, I can’t help to be skeptical of what the agenda is.

‘So, with that being said, I want to relay this message to you: I am traumatized, I am not stupid.’

Republicans in the House Oversight Committee have circulated a memo on Monday pushing back on the ‘anti-Trump narrative’ related to the Jeffrey Epstein files, as the House is set to vote on the matter, the New York Post reported.

‘Unfortunately, during this investigation, Oversight Committee Democrats, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), have intentionally mischaracterized witness testimony and selectively released information with targeted redactions in an effort to create another hoax involving President Trump,’ the memo stated.

‘After whipping their Democrat base into a frenzy with absurd promises of finally “getting” President Trump, Committee Democrats have now turned to concocting narratives from out-of-context documents, salacious innuendo, and outright lies regarding testimony and the evidentiary record to distract the American people from their own lack of ideas and leadership.’

Republicans argue that Democrats on the panel ‘have uncovered nothing new, have released no document not provided at the request of Republicans.’

The memo goes on to compare the Epstein investigation to ‘Russiagate, the Steele Dossier, and phony prosecutions before it.’

‘Committee Democrats have overpromised and underdelivered, and now they paw through every new document production looking for a single term: Trump,’ the memo stated.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene cracked a joke about standing alongside her Democratic colleagues during the Epstein survivors’ press conference.

‘I woke up this morning and I turned to my weather app to check the temperature, and it was 32 degrees, and my first thought was, hell has frozen over,’ she said.

‘These women have fought the most horrific fight that no woman should have to fight, and they did it by banding together and never giving up.’

Greene also addressed her falling out with Donald Trump over the Epstein files.

‘I’ve never owed him anything, but I fought for him, for the policies and for America first, and he called me a “traitor” for standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition,’ she said.

‘A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me.’

Donald Trump lost his cool on a reporter who asked about Republican lawmakers voting to release the Epstein files.

Over the weekend on Air Force One, Trump snapped at a female journalist after being repeatedly pressed by reporters regarding the files.

Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey appears to ask the president a question relating to Epstein before the president begins waving a finger in her face.

‘Quiet, quiet piggy!’ Trump yelled at the journalist while she stood off camera during a November 14th press pool.

Democrat Representative Ro Khanna kicked off the Epstein survivor press conference by praising Marjorie Taylor Greene.

‘There was so much pressure against her, but she stood with the survivors,’ Khanna said.

‘I expect an overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives, and I don’t want the DC swamp playing any games. They need to pass this in the Senate. They should not amend it. President Trump has said he would sign the Epstein Transparency Act.’

‘I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein,’ Summers said in a statement.

‘While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.’

President Donald Trump’s sudden pivot on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files was not an impulsive gamble but a tactical move to end a months-long drama that has consumed the White House and Congress.

Trump raged at reporters on Sunday night in Palm Beach as he walked to Air Force One, berating them for asking about the convicted sex offender instead of lowering living costs for Americans.

‘I don’t want to talk about it,’ Trump snapped, blasting ‘fake news like you’ and the ‘terrible reporter’ who dared to raise the subject.

Then, in a sudden shift, Trump said Sunday night that ‘House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.’

The House of Representatives will vote today on a bill to publicly release all of the files related to the sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.

If passed in the House, the bill would be sent to the Senate, where Majority Leader John Thune has not indicated whether he will bring the matter up for a vote.

If the bill is passed in the Senate, it would head to Donald Trump’s desk for his approval.

Trump has said he would sign the bill while insisting he has nothing to hide.
