Over the last few months, she has gone on a number of high-profile news shows and was critical of Trump and fellow Republicans.
She took issue with the president not doing enough to bring down living costs for voters and criticised his policy of introducing tariffs on imports. But above all, she criticised his administration for not releasing documents related to Epstein.
Trump responded last week in a series of social media posts, calling Greene a “traitor” and “wacky”. He said she should be unseated and vowed to back a challenger for her place in Congress.

Greene was elected to Congress in 2020 amid a backdrop of headlines over her support and promotion of QAnon conspiracies, including claiming school shootings and the 9/11 terror attacks were staged. She has since apologised and sought to distance herself from those comments.
In the video announcing her resignation, Greene ticked off a list of political achievements. She noted in her resignation letter that the comments from Trump were “hurtful”.
