Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office in January, an unexpected turn for the high-profile Republican days after a public feud with President Donald Trump.

Greene, who became one of Trump's Maga superstars in US politics, posted a video statement on social media announcing she would leave Congress on 5 January 2026.

"I look forward to a new path ahead," she said in a social media post.

The announcement came just a few days after she and President Donald Trump had vehement disagreements over the release of Justice Department files related to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In a video statement, Greene ticked off a list of achievements and criticised the president, who threatened to back a Republican candidate to unseat her in next year's election.
