Former President Donald Trump has intensified his public attacks against late-night host Seth Meyers and Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, in a dispute surrounding the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The conflict has created an unusual political moment, as critics from opposing sides of the aisle find themselves facing a common target. Seth Meyers addressed the criticism on his show Late Night, responding with humor. He mocked Trump’s grammar while noting he now shares a “list” of targets alongside Greene and others. Meyers turned the presidential attacks into comedic material for his audience, demonstrating his characteristic wit.

The dispute centers on a discharge petition seeking the release of Epstein-related files. Greene has been a vocal advocate for making the documents public, directly opposing Trump’s initial resistance. In response, Trump labeled Greene a “traitor” on his Truth Social platform and withdrew his political endorsement of the Georgia congresswoman.

This feud exposes significant divisions within the MAGA movement, highlighting contrasting approaches to handling sensitive political issues. The House of Representatives is preparing for a key vote on the Epstein documents, a decision that could have lasting political consequences.

The controversy underscores how the Epstein case continues to influence U.S. politics, fostering unexpected alliances and reshaping loyalties in Washington.
