Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is not holding back about former President Donald Trump’s suggestion he could be indicted again.
When asked if she had a response to Trump’s claim, the Georgia congresswoman offered three words as she said, “It’s absolute bullsh*t.”
“This is the only way that the Democrats have to beat President Trump is to arrest him, smear him, charge him with ridiculous charges. All in a cover-up of Joe Biden’s crimes, Hunter Biden’s crimes. It’s unbelievable. It’s hard to even recognize that this is our country,” she continued.

Greene went on:
“The American people are going to be furious… It’s outrageous. I can’t believe our country has to endure this and I’ll be standing with President Trump the entire way.”
In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump wrote, “WOW! On Sunday night, while I was with my family, having just arrived from the Turning Point event in Florida, where I won the Straw Poll against all other Republican candidates with 85.7%… HORRIFYING NEWS for our Country was given to me by my attorneys.”
“Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden’s DOJ, sent a letter (again, it was Sunday night!) stating that I am a TARGET of the January 6th Grand Jury investigation, and giving me a very short 4 days to report to the Grand jury, which almost always means an Arrest and Indictment,” he continued.

Special Counsel Jack Smith previously indicted Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump is facing 37 charges in that case, including 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information, one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice, one count of corruptly concealing a document or record, one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation, and one count related to making false statements.
Trump has insisted he is an “innocent man.”
He also blamed “mutants” for the indictment — though it was unclear what he meant.
Smith was tapped to investigate Trump’s handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
