Axios reported that the White House told Secret Service that officials believed former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tipped off Code Pink about President Donald Trump’s visit to a DC restaurant.
MTG denies she did it, threatening to call her attorney.
The incident occurred in September, when Trump decided to dine at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in DC.
Code Pink weirdos ambushed Trump at the restaurant, shouting “Free Palestine” and “Trump is Hitler.”
Apparently, MTG recommended the restaurant to Trump.
From Axios:Why it matters: Trump aides view the Joe’s Seafood debacle as a point of no return in his relationship with Greene, a Trump ally-turned-critic who left office this week.
- Greene told Axios that any suggestion she revealed Trump’s dinner plans was “an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that.”
- She said she recommended the restaurant to Trump but didn’t know when he would go there.
- Greene added that only the fancy lobbyist hangout — a few blocks from the White House, at 15th and H NW — and Trump aides knew of the reservation. She said: “The story you should be writing is why didn’t the Secret Service sweep the restaurant,” and have metal detectors at the door?
MTG refuted the allegations on X:
This is exactly what I told this little WH tool that wrote this absurd dangerous LIE about me on behalf of the WH because they are mad at me for telling the truth about the President and forcing the release of the Epstein files. Now they are making up horrific lies about me!!Code Pink was in the restaurant because the WH and Secret Service did NOT sweep Joe’s, did NOT set up metal detectors and check everyone in the restaurant, and did not do any of their normal security protocols that they do at every public event he attends!!! Only the WH set up President Trump’s reservation at Joe’s, NOT ME!! I had ZERO knowledge of when his reservation was! The only people who could have tipped off Code Pink was the restaurant or the WH!And AGAIN, why didn’t Secret Service secure the restaurant BEFORE he went in????????This was in September when we had a great relationship, 2 months before Trump attacked me and called me a traitor!!! And even now, I would NEVER do what they are accusing me of!I would NEVER EVER do anything to endanger anyone!!!“I’ll be calling my attorney. This is an ABSOLUTE LIE, A DANGEROUS LIE. I would NEVER do that.1. The President’s team set his reservation. I had ZERO involvement or knowledge of his schedule and when he would go to dinner there. The only thing I did was suggest the restaurant to him and give the phone number to his team. I believe I texted it to Natalie. They set it up on their own and never told me the date.2. He went to Joe’s in September, 2 months before he turned on me and attacked me. We had no ill will and a great relationship at the time. And even now, I would NEVER do what you are accusing me of! I literally defended the President yesterday on The View when they were attacking him about J6.3. I do not have Medea Benjamin’s phone number and do not have any contact with her. She used to stop by my office as she stops by every office on Capitol hill.4. The story you should be writing is why didn’t secret service sweep the restaurant??? Why didn’t they set up metal detectors and check every person at the door like they do at every single public event he attends??? Why aren’t you asking the White House those questions??? And why did the President’s team allow that to happen only a year after he was shot in Butler, PA??? Who at the restaurant could have leaked his reservation??? Only the WH and Joe’s had knowledge of the reservation!!This is a dangerous false accusation against me that is 100% false and you and Axios should never publish such a horrific lie!!!”Anyone saying this is true is absolutely lying!!!
