Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office, citing deep frustration with the political establishment in Washington and a growing rift with US President Donald Trump. Her resignation will take effect on January 5, 2026.
In a written resignation letter released Friday, Greene criticized the direction of the Republican Party and Washington's failure to prioritize American citizens.
"I have fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to elect Donald Trump ... Meanwhile most of the Establishment Republicans, who secretly hate him and who stabbed him in the back and never defended him against anything, have all been welcomed in after the election," Greene wrote.
Accusations against the political establishment
In her letter, Greene condemned what she called the "Political Industrial Complex" of both parties, saying it was “ripping this country apart.”
She criticized the federal government for prioritizing foreign interests over domestic needs and expressed dismay at the economic challenges facing American families.
The spending power of the dollar continues to decline, she noted, adding that "Corporate and global interests remain Washington's sweethearts."
She went on to say that US taxpayer dollars are being wasted on foreign wars, foreign aid, and foreign agendas, rather than serving the needs of the American people.
Trump dumps Marjorie Taylor Greene in escalating Epstein-files clash
The resignation follows public disputes between Greene and Trump. Earlier this month, Greene accused the former president of fueling threats against her through “aggressive rhetoric.” Trump dismissed her claims, saying, “Nobody cares about her.”
Greene, a longtime Republican ally who had fiercely defended Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, said last week that she had been contacted by private security firms “with warnings for my safety” after Trump announced he was withdrawing his support and endorsement for the Georgia representative.
The Congresswoman also suggested that a foreign government may be pressuring President Donald Trump to keep Jeffrey Epstein files hidden, specifically questioning "Israel’s" potential involvement with the late sex offender, Anadolu reported on Sunday.
