The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene deteriorated so badly that the White House warned the Secret Service she may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise dinner last fall at a Washington restaurant she recommended, according to two people close to Trump.
The episode centered on Trump’s Sept. 9 visit to Joe’s Seafood, where anti-war activists confronted him in a scene that rattled the president and set off alarm bells inside the White House about his safety.
Trump aides now see that night as the breaking point in his alliance with Greene, once one of his most vocal allies before turning into a critic and leaving Congress this week.
Greene denied any role in alerting protesters.
Any suggestion she leaked Trump’s plans was “an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that,” she told Axios. She said she recommended the restaurant but had no idea when Trump would go.
She added that only the restaurant and Trump aides knew about the reservation and said: “The story you should be writing is why didn’t the Secret Service sweep the restaurant,” and have metal detectors at the door?
