The fallout between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene became so severe that the White House raised internal concerns with the Secret Service, suspecting Greene may have alerted Code Pink activists ahead of Trump’s unexpected visit last fall to a Washington, D.C., restaurant she had recommended, according to two people familiar with the situation.
That outing quickly turned chaotic when anti-war demonstrators confronted the president, creating a public scene that frustrated Trump and triggered renewed anxiety inside the White House about his security. The incident carried added weight given that it occurred roughly a year after Trump narrowly avoided an assassination attempt, making any lapse in safety especially alarming to his team.
Why it matters: Trump aides now privately describe the restaurant episode as the moment his relationship with Greene became irreparably damaged. Once a loyal supporter, Greene had increasingly distanced herself from the president and officially exited office this week.
Greene flatly rejected claims that she disclosed Trump’s whereabouts, calling the accusation completely false and reckless. She acknowledged suggesting the restaurant but said she had no knowledge of when Trump planned to go, or even whether he ultimately would.
She also insisted that awareness of the reservation was limited to the restaurant itself — a well-known upscale gathering spot for lobbyists located just a few blocks from the White House — and Trump’s inner circle. Greene argued that the focus should instead be on security planning, questioning why the Secret Service failed to fully secure the location or implement measures such as metal detectors at the entrance.
