Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision on Friday and said she was “always been despised in Washington, D.C., and just never fit in”.
Greene’s resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, as the congresswoman criticised him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and healthcare.
Trump branded her a “traitor” and “wacky”, and said he would endorse a challenger against her when she ran for re-election next year.
She said her last day would be January 5, 2026.
