Marjorie Taylor Greene issued a cautionary statement affirming she is ‘not suicidal’ while reiterating her call for the government to disclose the Epstein files.
The Republican lawmaker has become a prominent advocate for the victims of the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, standing as one of the few Republicans in Congress supporting a motion to demand a vote on the full release of these documents.
But allies of President Donald Trump have continued to block the release, with Trump himself dismissing the files as ‘totally irrelevant’.
On Saturday, Greene took to X with a lengthy post declaring that ‘the Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.’
Shortly thereafter, she posted another message stating that if she were ever found dead under suspicious circumstances—similar to Epstein’s demise in jail—there should be a probe into whether influential elites might have tried to silence her.
‘I am not suicidal and one of the happiest and healthiest people you will meet,’ the sitting member of Congress wrote.
“If anything were to happen to me, I urge you all to investigate which foreign entities or influential people might resort to extreme measures to prevent this information from being exposed,” she further expressed.
‘Not only about this issue, but because of the truth I have been speaking. The People understand what I’m saying.’

The conservative representative has recently become a significant advocate for Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, aligning herself as one of only four Republicans in Congress pushing for a petition to compel a vote for the complete release of the files.

Once among Trump’s most loyal MAGA allies, Greene has now distanced herself and her stance from the president amid the explosive Epstein scandal.
Earlier this month, the White House warned Republican House lawmakers that supporting the legislation would be seen by Trump as a ‘very hostile act.’
But at a recent press conference, Greene pushed back, insisting, ‘This isn’t a hostile act toward the administration.’
She pressed her stance further in her initial post on X Saturday morning, writing that she wanted to set the record straight about her support for the Epstein discharge petition.
‘I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped. Period. Every time. At all times,’ Greene said.
‘For me, it’s not about a pissing contest between political parties or political enemies,’ she added. ‘The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed.’
The 51-year-old politician defended that claim by stating that both the women and their attorney have repeatedly confirmed Trump did nothing wrong – and that he was, in fact, ‘the only one that helped the women.’
Even FBI Director Kash Patel has repeatedly stated in congressional hearings this month that the agency has no evidence showing Epstein trafficked young girls to ‘anyone but himself.’

Minutes later, Greene followed up with a second post warning that if she were ever found dead – like the convicted pedophile (pictured) was in his jail cell – there must be an investigation into powerful elites potentially trying to silence her
But as Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) told Patel at a recent Senate hearing, ‘This issue is not going to go away.’
In her extensive post, Greene took a swipe at Democrats, accusing them of never doing ‘a single thing’ or showing they cared about Epstein’s victims during their four years in power.
‘They could have exposed the entire thing while they had power but never lifted a finger to do so,’ the right-wing representative wrote.
‘If anyone is implicated, then they have the right to clear their name,’ she added.
‘Just as millions of Americans have had to do when falsely accused of a crime. I’ve had to do that many times and even had to defend myself against lies and pay massive attorney bills to do it.’
She once again urged those in power to release the Epstein files by any means necessary – especially so the focus can return to helping Americans.
Greene said she hears daily how Americans struggle to afford basics – health insurance, rent, housing and caring for aging parents – exacerbated by the turmoil and distrust stirred nationwide over the Epstein files.
‘The obsession over the Epstein files and fighting about it should not be happening and it needs to end. But it’s only an issue in the news because it has become a political fight when it should not be one,’ Greene wrote.

‘My name is staying on the discharge position and I will dive into the Oversight committee investigation just as I do with every investigation,’ she added.
‘And to be clear once again, I stand with the women, and the women who were raped at 14.’
Earlier this month, Greene said she asked the president to host and meet with Epstein’s victims in the Oval Office – but claimed Trump never responded.
Instead, Trump hosted the president of Poland in the Oval Office, where he shared his views on the Epstein files legislation.
He fueled the controversy further by calling the scandal a ‘Democrat hoax that never ends.’
Nearly a dozen Epstein victims were invited to share their stories at a press conference, where Greene joined to condemn Trump’s DOJ for not being more transparent with the files.

Greene has consistently aligned with Trump on nearly every major issue in Congress, making her appearance at the Epstein victims’ press conference a striking departure – and a rare public break from the president’s stance on the matter.
Trump socialized with Epstein in New York City and Florida circles through the 1990s, but claims they fell out of contact before his first arrest in 2006.
Sources told The Wall Street Journal that Trump had privately complained to his aides that he doesn’t understand the obsession with the dead financier and sex offender.
The House Oversight Committee was given 33,295 pages of Epstein files from the Justice Department last month.
The president then turned to MAGA influencers in an effort to calm the waters, as vocal dissent over the handling of the Epstein files review began to surge.
But the outreach only fell flat, as pressure from both the public and lawmakers for full transparency continued to mount.
