President Donald Trump and former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s relationship is, in fact, as toxic as they let on.

So much so, the White House told the Secret Service that MTG may have tipped off leftist CODEPINK protesters about Trump’s whereabouts last fall, per Axios.

In September, Trump dined at Joe’s Seafood in Washington, D.C., per Greene’s recommendation, according to Axios. Trump was out to dinner with Vice President JD Vance and several prominent cabinet members to show how the city was doing after the Trump Administration deployed the National Guard to crack down on crime.

His dinner turned into a debacle when President Trump was met with CODEPINK protesters who yelled, “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” toward the president, creating a ruckus in the restaurant, Axios reported.

CODEPINK is an anti-war group made up primarily of women with alleged ties to the “Communist Chinese government.”

Two sources on Trump’s team told Axios about the Secret Service’s involvement in last fall’s protest-filled dinner outing.

Greene told Axios her involvement in tipping off Trump’s location to protesters is “an absolute lie, a dangerous lie. I would never do that.” Greene also told the outlet that only the notable restaurant and Trump’s aides knew about the reservation.

“The story you should be writing is why didn’t the Secret Service sweep the restaurant?” Greene told Axios.

It remains unclear if the Secret Service is investigating Greene. The former congresswoman declined to say whether she’s been contacted by the Secret Service, according to Axios.

After the chaotic dinner last fall, Trump called for an investigation into CODEPINK, demanding that the protesters be “put in jail.”

Axios noted the former representative repeatedly called White House staffers the day of the dinner to ensure Trump was still going. Greene maintains that even though she recommended the restaurant to the Commander in Chief, she didn’t know when he would go.

Greene, who is apparently a regular at Joe’s Seafood, didn’t show up the night of September 9 when Trump and other officials arrived, which was odd according to Trump’s aides.

MTG has a documented friendship with CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. In fact, Benjamin last year praised Greene for opposing Trump’s bombing of nuclear sites in Iran.

Greene and Trump have vehemently disagreed on foreign policy in his second term, with Greene claiming Trump abandoned his “America First” agenda. Greene was also publicly opposed to the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Though the former staunch ally of Trump left office this week, their feud continues.

Republicans are increasingly optimistic about flipping a U.S. Senate seat in the traditionally blue stronghold of Minnesota, a shift fueled by a massive fraud scandal that has already led to Democratic Governor Tim Walz dropping out of his re-election campaign. As the 2026 election cycle approaches, the GOP sees a rare opening to reclaim the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Tina Smith (D), potentially upending the state’s Democratic dominance.

The core of the GOP’s momentum lies in the fallout from what investigators describe as the largest theft of taxpayer funds in American history. A sprawling network of fraud involving programs like “Feeding Our Future,” Medicaid exploitation, and autism services has allegedly bilked billions from state and federal coffers. The Department of Justice has already secured 64 convictions among nearly 100 defendants, many of whom are of Somali descent. Furthermore, the Treasury Department is investigating reports that stolen funds were funneled through “hawalas” to the al-Qaeda-linked terror group Al-Shabaab.

New internal polling from the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) indicates significant vulnerability for the two leading Democratic contenders, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan and Rep. Angie Craig. According to the survey, 55% of likely voters hold the Walz-Flanagan administration responsible for the misuse of funds, while 69% expressed concern over Rep. Craig’s handling of the issue.

The scandal has created a “messy” Democratic primary. While Craig represents the party’s more centrist wing, Flanagan’s candidacy is defined by a hard-Left record that has drawn both high-profile endorsements from figures like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and intense national scrutiny over state-level scandals.

Flanagan has consistently aligned herself with radical leftist causes, often centering her leadership on identity-based advocacy. She has been a vocal supporter of Minnesota’s Somali community; the most recent example was a video that went viral over Christmas showing her wearing her version of a hijab and pledging to “have the back” of Somali immigrants against the federal government.

After President Donald Trump scorched Minnesota’s Somali community over allegations of massive welfare fraud and ties to terrorism, Flanagan posted on Instagram to sneer: “You know, this vile, racist stream of consciousness from a President ‘Old Man Yells At Cloud,’ you’re disgusting.”

Flanagan’s record on social issues is equally polarizing. She was a primary architect of Minnesota’s “Trans Refuge” laws, which grant the state emergency jurisdiction over children seeking so-called gender-altering medical procedures, even without parental consent.

With 50% of respondents stating they are more likely to support a GOP candidate pledging stronger audits and oversight, the NRSC believes Minnesota is firmly “in play.” As Republicans fight to protect their 53-47 Senate majority, the combination of fiscal corruption and radical social experimentation has provided the GOP with the political ammunition necessary to potentially turn this deep-blue state red.
