MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON
Good afternoon. There are several significant developments unfolding today involving President Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Jeffrey Epstein files, and escalating international tensions. Before I get into it, if you can, please consider subscribing to support this work. TikTok is censoring content right now, and as we head into the new year, independent journalism here will be so important.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says her relationship with President Donald Trump collapsed over her push to force the release of information related to Jeffrey Epstein and his network of associates. Greene has described the Epstein case as “everything wrong with Washington,” arguing that powerful elites were protected while victims were ignored.
According to Greene, the breaking point came after she publicly threatened to name Epstein’s alleged abusers. She says Trump responded with an angry phone call, warning her that “my friends will get hurt.” Greene also claims the president dismissed her proposal to invite Epstein survivors to the White House, telling her they did not merit such recognition.

She detailed these claims in an extensive profile published by The New York Times, saying her advocacy for survivors was the final straw after months of simmering disagreements.

Although Congress overwhelmingly passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with Greene’s backing and Trump signed it into law, the Department of Justice has struggled to execute the release properly. The Department of Justice has missed deadlines, released heavily redacted documents, and uploaded materials later found to be disputed or fake. The chaotic rollout has sparked outrage among Epstein survivors.
One of those survivors, Danielle Bensky, has confirmed to me that the DOJ failed to properly redact her personal information in the released files. Her name and an old phone number were publicly disclosed, despite both requiring redaction. The error underscores ongoing concerns about the government’s handling of sensitive survivor data.

At the same time, President Trump made alarming comments suggesting U.S. involvement in a possible strike in Venezuela. Referring to what he described as a major explosion at a dock used to load drug trafficking boats, Trump said, “We hit all the boats, and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area, and that is no longer around.”
He declined to clarify which U.S. agency was responsible and refused to say whether the CIA was involved, stating only that he knew who carried it out but would not name them. It remains unclear what was targeted or which branch of government acted.
Trump also addressed Russia’s claim that Ukraine attempted to attack the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, an allegation Ukraine has denied. Trump said he was “very angry” after hearing Putin describe the alleged incident, adding that attacking a leader’s home was inappropriate and poorly timed. “It’s one thing to be offensive. It’s another thing to attack his house,” Trump said.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, rejected the accusation, calling it a “typical Russian lie” and warning that such claims were being used to undermine diplomatic efforts with the United States aimed at ending Russia’s invasion.

Together, these developments highlight growing domestic fractures, unresolved accountability over the Epstein files, and rising global instability, all converging as pressure mounts on U.S. leadership at home and abroad.
