Former MAGA-aligned Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has launched a furious denial against what she calls a "dangerous lie" – claims she was responsible for a security breach that led to protests during an ex-president's dinner.
Allegations of a Security Breach
The controversy stems from an incident last autumn, when protesters from the group Code Pink managed to disrupt a dinner attended by former President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. A subsequent report alleged that the White House had informed the Secret Service that Marjorie Taylor Greene may have been the source who tipped off the activists about Trump's whereabouts.
Greene, who recently left Congress, responded with fury to the allegations. In a public statement, she branded the claims an "absolute lie" and insisted she had no prior knowledge of the dinner reservation. "Only the WH set up President Trump’s reservation at Joe’s, NOT ME!!" she wrote, adding, "I had ZERO knowledge of when his reservation was! The only people who could have tipped off Code Pink was the restaurant or the WH!"
Corroboration and Context
Adding weight to Greene's denial, a spokesperson for Code Pink, Melissa Garriga, confirmed that the former congresswoman played no role in alerting the protest group. This public row follows a notable cooling in relations between Greene and Trump. The ex-lawmaker has recently accused the White House of targeting her due to her vocal criticisms and demands for transparency regarding the Epstein files.
Political Repercussions
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions within the Republican sphere and raises serious questions about internal security protocols. The allegation, whether proven or not, points to the deep fractures and mistrust that can exist between former allies in the high-stakes world of U.S. politics. For Greene, the accusation represents a significant attack on her loyalty, which she has moved swiftly and forcefully to counter.
As of Friday 9 January 2026, the situation remains a heated point of contention, underscoring how quickly political alliances can shift and how security concerns become entangled with personal and partisan disputes.
