With only days remaining before her resignation from Congress becomes official, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is increasingly concerned for her personal safety and the safety of her family, claiming that threats against her life have intensified alongside her highly publicized break with President Donald Trump.
In a wide-ranging interview this week, Greene said her office has documented 773 death threats since she took office in January 2021—a staggering number that she says does not even include repeated swatting and doxing incidents directed at her home in Georgia.
“I don’t want to have anything to do with that anymore because I have seen firsthand over the past five years the horrific results of it,” Greene said. “This is just the conduct that is extremely unbecoming of the president of the United States.”
Greene’s comments mark one of her most direct and emotional condemnations of Trump since their once-close political alliance collapsed earlier this year. Once among Trump’s most outspoken defenders in the House, Greene now describes their relationship as irreparably damaged—not just politically, but personally.
Pipe Bomb, Swatting, and Threats Against Her Son
Among the most serious claims Greene revealed is that a pipe bomb was recently mailed to her congressional office, prompting a federal investigation. She also described what she called explicit, direct threats made against her son, adding that those messages represented a turning point for her.
“The direct threats on my son, I fully blame President Trump,” Greene said.
She did not provide specific details about the content or origin of the threats but said law enforcement has been involved. Greene argued that Trump’s rhetoric and attacks on her since their political breakup have fueled hostility among some supporters and escalated the level of danger she now faces.
Greene’s office confirmed that in addition to the death threats, she has endured multiple swatting attempts—false emergency calls meant to provoke armed police responses to her home—as well as repeated doxing, in which private addresses and personal details were leaked online.
The dangers posed by those incidents became tragically clear in 2024, when Georgia lawmakers passed SB 421, increasing penalties for swatting and doxing. The legislation was prompted by a fatal incident in which a police officer responding to a fake call at Greene’s residence was involved in a traffic collision that killed a civilian driver.
Greene has repeatedly cited that incident as proof that online threats translate into real-world consequences.
“His Response Was Unspeakable”
Perhaps most striking in Greene’s remarks was her description of Trump’s personal response after she informed him of the recent threats against her family.
“His response was unspeakable,” Greene said. “What he said to me, I’m not going to repeat it, but it was absolutely unreal. And he had no sympathy for me or for my family.”
Greene said that exchange left her “shaken” and confirmed for her that her relationship with Trump was beyond repair. She suggested that their interactions following her policy disagreements became increasingly hostile, culminating in what she described as cruel indifference to threats against her loved ones.
Trump has not publicly addressed her specific claims about the alleged pipe bomb or threats against her son.
How the Political Break With Trump Unfolded
Greene’s split from Trump did not happen overnight. According to Greene, the rupture deepened during this year’s federal government shutdown, when she broke with Republican leadership—and with Trump—over Affordable Care Act subsidy funding. She later diverged again over efforts to release documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene has said her push for transparency surrounding Epstein ultimately triggered the final collapse of her relationship with Trump.
“That’s really been shocking,” Greene said. “I will make no apologies for standing with women who were raped. I think that’s the right thing to do. And I’m sticking with it.”
While Greene said she does not believe Trump is named in the long-awaited Epstein-related files, she claimed that Trump warned her that “people would get hurt” if the documents were released. Greene said that warning disturbed her.
“I didn’t need to see a single thing in a file or read anything that was confidential before that to make that decision,” she said. “No one who abused anyone should be shielded.”
Her stance marked a sharp departure from Trump’s messaging and placed her in an increasingly isolated position within the pro-Trump wing of the Republican Party.
From Trump Ally to Vocal Critic
Greene once stood as one of Trump’s most loyal defenders in Congress, frequently clashing with Democrats and amplifying Trump’s positions during hearings and on social media. Their falling-out has therefore drawn intense attention from both parties.
Since their split became public, Greene has increasingly accused Trump of abandoning conservative principles, applying double standards, and cultivating political loyalty at the expense of accountability.
Her decision to resign from Congress—effective January 5, 2026—came in the wake of that broader ideological break.
Greene framed her resignation as both a personal and political decision, citing exhaustion with the culture of threats, partisan warfare, and what she described as the moral decay of modern politics.
Trump’s Response: “She Went BAD”
Trump responded publicly to Greene’s resignation earlier this year in a conversation with ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott. His reaction struck a markedly different tone from Greene’s emotional account.
“I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” Trump said.
He added that Greene “went BAD” because he refused to return what he described as her “never-ending barrage of phone calls.”
“Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!” Trump added later, striking a more conciliatory note.
Trump has not directly addressed Greene’s allegations about threats, her family, or the pipe bomb claim.
The Impact on Georgia’s 14th District
Greene’s departure instantly turned Georgia’s 14th Congressional District into one of the most closely watched House races in the country. Multiple candidates have already entered the race, including:
-
A sitting Georgia state senator
-
A former Greene staffer
-
Several local Republican and independent contenders
Despite her long influence in the district, Greene has announced that she does not plan to endorse any candidate in the primary, signaling a clean break from active electoral politics—at least for now.
Political analysts say the district remains solidly Republican but could see a bruising primary fight without Greene’s endorsement consolidating the field.
A Broader Pattern of Threats Against Lawmakers
Greene’s claims arrive amid heightened national concern over threats against public officials across the political spectrum. In recent years, members of Congress from both parties have reported sharp increases in death threats, harassment, and online intimidation.
Capitol Police data shows threat investigations have more than doubled over the last decade, driven largely by social media radicalization, political polarization, and doxing tactics.
Greene’s case is unusual, however, in the volume of threats she claims to have documented and in the degree to which those threats intersect with her break from one of the most powerful political figures in the country.

Leaving Congress Under a Cloud of Conflict
Greene’s exit from Congress is now unfolding not as a quiet political retirement but as a dramatic public rupture involving:
-
Personal safety fears
-
National political feuds
-
Explosive allegations involving Trump
-
Ongoing criminal threat investigations
-
And a hard ideological divorce from the movement that once defined her career
Her departure also underscores a broader reality of modern American politics: loyalty shifts quickly, and today’s allies can become tomorrow’s most vocal critics.

Final Assessment
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s claims of escalating threats against her family mark a volatile and deeply personal end to her time in Congress. Whether her accusations against Trump will produce further public confrontation remains unclear. What is clear is that her political relationship with Trump—once ironclad—is now openly hostile.
With her resignation set for January 5, 2026, Greene will leave Washington amid unresolved disputes, active security concerns, and a fractured legacy that continues to polarize both supporters and critics.
As one of the most controversial lawmakers of the Trump era, her final chapter in Congress may ultimately be defined less by legislation and more by the bitter political and personal battles that followed her break from the former president.
