Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, announced Friday that she was resigning from Congress in a few months, telling Americans, “I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”
Greene, a once loyal ally to Donald Trump, had a public falling out with the president in recent weeks over her criticisms about healthcare and affordability. Most notably, she was one of the few House Republicans to initially call for the release of government files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an unpopular position in the GOP before others joined in on the effort, including Trump himself.
