Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has renewed her criticism of the Trump administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, declaring on 3 May 2026via Xthat 'no one has been arrested or held accountable' — despite the release of thousands of documents related to Epstein's decades-long abuse of underage girls. In the same post, Greene wrote that she 'still can't believe' she had to fight President Trump himself to get the files released, adding that the failure to deliver justice was 'what killed MAGA.'
Greene also used the post to coin a pointed phrase for her current state of mind, writing: 'I don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have Trump Disappointment Syndrome.' The remark drew significant attention online, with the post accumulating over 100,000 views within hours of being published.
Greene and Trump's relationship fractured when the Georgia lawmaker refused to follow the President's lead over the Epstein files. Although Trump eventually pivoted and signed a bill ordering the release of the documents on 19 November, he had initially dismissed calls for their publication as a 'Democrat hoax.'
Greene was once a staunch supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement, but became a fierce critic after Trump called her a 'ranting lunatic' on Truth Social in November. She announced her resignation from Congress the same month, with her last day on 5 January 2026.
In an interview released in February 2026, Greenesaidof Trump: 'He fought the hardest to stop these files from being released, and the only reason that he signed our bill that we passed in the House was because he had to. It became a massive political problem.'
Greene has also claimed that Trump directly instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi not to release the Epstein files, saying Trump 'flat out told her, "Do not release the Epstein files." He was blocking everybody.' She further recounted a conversation she said she had with Trump directly, in whichhe told her: 'People you know, Marjorie, people at Mar-a-Lago. They're going to get hurt.'
The White House has not publicly responded to Greene's account of either conversation.
Greene has also warned that the MAGA base's response to the Epstein files could cost the Republican Party dearly in the midterms,calling outinfluencers on the right for 'mocking the seriousness of women who were trafficked and raped as teenagers and young women.' She wrote: 'Good luck trying to get women to vote for Republicans in the midterms, you insensitive clowns. The Republican Party already has a woman voting problem.'
Trump, for his part, took to Truth Social to call the issue the 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,' referring to those still pushing for accountability as 'past supporters' and writing: 'I don't want their support anymore!'
MAGA should never be told that a convicted pedophile and his circle of elite friends raping girls when they are 14 or 16 years old is a Democrat hoax.And I still can’t believe I had to fight President Trump to release the Epstein files, and to this day no one has been arrested…pic.twitter.com/ZixhucQya1
