US lawmaker warns of ‘powerful people’ trying to silence her over Epstein 

Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that she is “not suicidal” as she renews her push to have the sex offender’s records released

US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed that “powerful people” are trying to silence her over her renewed efforts to have the Epstein files released. She further added that she is “not suicidal,” and that if she is harmed in any way it would not be self-inflicted.   

Greene is backing a House resolution introduced by Republican Rep. Thomas Massie that seeks to force a full House vote that would compel the Justice Department to release all remaining files related to Jeffrey Epstein – the financier and convicted sex offender who allegedly died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.   

Greene, a Republican from Georgia, took to X on Saturday with a stark warning, telling followers to “find out” what really happened if she were ever found dead.  

“I am not suicidal and one of the happiest, healthiest people you will meet,” she wrote, dismissing any suggestion she might take her own life after backing a petition to unseal the records. The petition requires 218 signatures to bypass committee leadership and bring the resolution directly to the floor – a step Greene says is crucial to exposing what she calls the “Epstein rape and pedophile network.”  

“If something happens to me, I ask you to find out which foreign government or powerful people would go to such lengths to keep this information from coming out,” she added. “The People understand what I’m saying.”

Democrats release redacted Epstein records mentioning Elon Musk

According to media reports, the White House has been pressing lawmakers privately to abandon the petition, but Greene said she has no intention of backing down.  

“I stand with girls and women who are sexually abused and raped. Period. Every time. At all times,” Greene wrote earlier.  

“This isn’t about a pissing contest between political parties or rivals. The Epstein rape and pedophile network must be exposed – and my name will remain on the discharge petition.”

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of Justice Department records on Epstein, including redacted court files, surveillance footage and other evidence. On Friday, House Democrats released another batch – calendars, flight logs and financial ledgers naming Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon – prompting Republicans to accuse them of “cherry-picking” to spotlight conservatives while withholding material that could implicate Democrats.
