Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Donald Trump of Blaming Her for Death Threats to Her Son
5/6/2026, 9:27:34 PM
Alleged Text Exchange
Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says President Donald Trump replied to her report of death threats against her children with a text stating she “deserves” any harm to her son because she is a “traitor.” Greene claims she saved the messages and warned that public release could expose her to criminal liability.
Background and Timeline
Greene was a leading MAGA supporter, praised as a “Republican Star,” and served Georgia’s 14th District from 2020 until her resignation effective Jan. 5 2026. In late 2025 she pressed the administration to release the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, prompting a public feud with Trump. After Trump withdrew his endorsement and labeled her a “traitor,” Greene reported receiving a surge of death threats, including messages targeting her youngest son.
Official Statements and Responses
The White House, through spokesperson Davis Ingle, dismissed Greene’s claim as a publicity stunt, calling her “a quitter who is pathetically trying to stay relevant” and invoking “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Vice President JD Vance, per Greene, expressed willingness to investigate. FBI Director Kash Patel replied “On it” and then ceased communication. The White House did not address the specific texts; the FBI declined comment.
Criticism and Opposition
White House officials framed Greene’s allegations as a personal attempt to regain media attention, suggesting she is exploiting the threats for relevance. Ingle’s remarks portray her statements as lacking credibility and driven by grievance.
Conflicting Reports and Gaps
The administration has not confirmed receipt of the forwarded threats, and no independent verification of the alleged texts exists. The FBI offered no status update, and Greene’s assertion that releasing the messages could lead to jail remains unsubstantiated.
