White House Reportedly Told Secret Service Marjorie Taylor Greene May Have Tipped Off Protesters To Confront Trump

The White House told the Secret Service that now former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene may have tipped off anti-war activists of President Donald Trump's location, leading to a public confrontation, according to a new report.

Axios detailed that the incident in question took place in September when Trump visited Joe's Seafood, a D.C. restaurant she had recommended. It led to a confrontation with Code Pink activists who, according to the outlet, embarrassed Trump and rose questions about his safety, considering protesters got within a few feet of him. "Free DC.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!" they yelled at him.

Greene rejected telling the activists about Trump's visit, calling it an "absolute lie, a dangerous lie." "I would never do that," she added, claiming that she recommended the restaurant to the president but didn't know he would go there. "The story you should be writing is why didn't the Secret Service sweep the restaurant." Code Pink spokesperson Melissa Garriga also rejected the notion that Greene told them about Trump's visit.

However, the Secret Service investigated the possibility based on two factors: one is that, according to officials, Greene repeatedly called White House staffers to confirm Trump would go to the restaurant she had recommended. Trump later confirmed to her that he would go but Greene didn't show up, which struck some aides as odd.

The other is that Greene is friends with Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin. Moreover, the now former lawmaker and the group share an opposition to the U.S. providing military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Greene had a fallout with Trump over the past months, to the point she resigned from Congress this week as a result. She has slammed most of his actions, most recently the operation in Venezuela.

Appearing on The View this week, Greene said that she went to "countless Trump rallies and stood on the stage with the president and stood on the stage with other Republican candidates and said 'America First.'"

"No more regime change, no more foreign wars, no more foreign intervention.' Enough of this. That's what America First means," she added.

She went on to say that "militarily invading a country, killing people in the process, arresting their leader and taking them out, then claiming this is for the Venezuelan people, and saying all the charges are about drugs, but then turning around and literally, every single statement is about Venezuelan oil and how it belongs to America ... it's not working."
