July 28, 2025 — Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has sparked controversy within her party and beyond after comments made regarding the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein scandal, drawing sharp criticism from David Schoen, a former attorney for both President Donald Trump and Epstein.
The remarks, aired during a Monday interview on Newsmax, underscore growing tensions within the Republican Party as Greene pushes for transparency while accusing some party members of obstructing investigations into Epstein’s network.
During the Newsmax interview, host Katrina Szish pressed Schoen on why the Epstein scandal continues to captivate public attention despite a lack of new evidence.
Schoen, who previously represented Trump during his impeachment proceedings and Epstein in legal matters, attributed the persistence of the story to “competing agendas” on both political sides.
He specifically called out Greene, alongside conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, as “conspiracy theorists” who “will never be satisfied” with the information available, suggesting their demands for deeper investigations fuel endless speculation.
“If there were a smoking gun, Maxwell says, for example, that some young woman was with, fill in the blank, some famous and wealthy person.
They’ll say, well, there must be more,” Schoen stated.
Schoen’s remarks highlight a broader frustration among some Republicans who view Greene’s focus on the Epstein case as divisive, particularly as it implicates powerful figures without conclusive evidence.
His comments reflect a sentiment among party moderates who seek to move past the scandal to avoid alienating voters ahead of critical election cycles.
Greene’s Response and MAGA Base Concerns
Greene, however, has doubled down on her calls for transparency, aligning herself with the MAGA base’s distrust of institutional cover-ups.
Earlier this month, she posted on X, warning that President Trump risks losing his core supporters if he fails to address allegations of “deep state treasonous crimes” and “elite evil cabals.”
She wrote, “If you tell the base of people, who support you, of deep state treasonous crimes, election interference, blackmail, and rich powerful elite evil cabals, then you must take down every enemy of The People.
The base will turn and there’s no going back.”
Her statements reflect a broader strategy to shore up support among Trump’s loyalists, who have expressed frustration over the administration’s handling of the Epstein case.
On July 15, 2025, Greene appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars, where she accused the Republican Party of “covering for pedophile elites” and supported the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Epstein’s connections further.
She speculated, without evidence, that foreign governments, including Israel and the United Kingdom, might be involved in suppressing information, though she admitted she had no direct proof.
Greene’s remarks come amid a pattern of provocative statements and actions that have defined her tenure in Congress.
Elected in 2020 to represent Georgia’s 14th congressional district, Greene has been a polarizing figure, known for promoting far-right views and conspiracy theories, including QAnon and Pizzagate, as well as antisemitic and white supremacist rhetoric.
In 2021, the House voted to remove her from committee assignments due to her endorsements of political violence, a decision supported by eleven Republicans and unanimous Democrats.
More recently, Greene has clashed with GOP leadership over issues ranging from foreign policy to domestic priorities.
Her opposition to U.S. military involvement in Iran and Ukraine, as well as her push for policies like the Clear Skies Act to ban geoengineering, have positioned her as a vocal critic of the Republican establishment.
In June 2023, she was expelled from the House Freedom Caucus after insulting fellow member Lauren Boebert, further isolating her from some conservative allies.
Public and Party Reactions
Greene’s rhetoric has drawn sharp rebukes from both sides of the political spectrum.
Social media users on X have criticized her for hypocrisy, particularly after she blamed Democrats for inflammatory rhetoric following an assassination attempt on Trump in July 2024, only to later label Democrats as “the party of pedophiles” and “violence.”
One user, @swimmerbr78, pointed out, “The shooter was a registered Republican.
Most pedophiles are white, conservative males.
Trump flew on Epstein’s jet seven times,” highlighting the contentious nature of Greene’s claims.
Within the GOP, her actions have met resistance.
Republican lawmakers like Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) and Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) have expressed reluctance to support her efforts to challenge House Speaker Mike Johnson, with Zinke calling such moves a “waste of resources and time.”
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) laughed off the idea of Greene running for Senate, suggesting her antics may not resonate with Georgia voters.
Greene’s focus on the Epstein scandal and her broader anti-establishment stance highlight a deepening rift within the Republican Party.
As she weighs potential runs for Senate or governor, her ability to galvanize the MAGA base while alienating moderates could shape the party’s direction in future elections.
Her proposed legislation, such as a bill to require proof of citizenship for voting and a new census counting only U.S. citizens, has garnered attention but faces significant legal hurdles, with experts calling it unconstitutional.
As the Epstein case continues to stir debate, Greene’s insistence on transparency may resonate with a segment of voters skeptical of institutional power.
However, her approach risks further polarizing an already divided GOP, as party leaders grapple with balancing populist fervor and broader electoral appeal.
