Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a scathing critique of President Donald Trump over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, claiming he actively worked to block their release. Speaking on Owen Shroyer's podcast, Greene argued that Trump's characterization of the files as a "hoax" represented his "biggest political miscalculation."

Greene, who supported legislation forcing the Department of Justice to release the documents, suggested Attorney General Pam Bondi remains under Trump's direction regarding potential prosecutions. She claimed Trump personally fought hardest to prevent the files' release, a position that contradicts her previous staunch support for the president. The former lawmaker resigned from Congress amid growing tensions with Trump.

Greene accused Trump of only signing the House-passed bill under political pressure and criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for initially refusing to bring the legislation to the floor. She noted that she and several colleagues had to vote with Democrats to secure the files' release.
