Marjorie Taylor Greene has revealed that President Donald Trump told her 'my friends will get hurt' during what she describes as their final phone call. This conversation ultimately ended their five-year political alliance. Greene, a longtime ally of Trump, said it was ultimately 'Epstein' that divided them permanently, adding, 'Epstein was everything.'

The details featured in a magazine profile published by the New York Times Magazine in late December 2025 offer new insight into Greene's remarkable break with Trump after being one of his staunchest supporters since she took office in 2021. The account, drawn from multiple interviews, has since amplified already intense scrutiny over how the Trump administration has handled the release of files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
