She's long been one of Trump's most loyal and outspoken backers.
But her support for a vote to release the files appeared to strain their relationship to a breaking point over the weekend.
Trump withdrew his endorsement of her and described her as, quote, wacky.
Yesterday, Greene responded to his remarks about her on CNN.
Greene said she would not apologize for her position on Epstein, but she did apologize for the way she conducted herself at times in office.
CNN's Dana Bash raised offensive posts and remarks that Greene had made over the years, including personal insults, outright lies, and conspiracies.
And she asked Greene if she was only speaking out against Trump's rhetoric now because it was aimed at her.
Greene's dramatic about-turn has left many wondering what is motivating her current position.
Will Sommer is a reporter at The Bulwark, a conservative publication founded by Trump critics, and has covered the MAGA movement in depth.
He told us that some of Trump's recent policies have placed him increasingly against Greene's priorities.
Summer told us this shift for Greene was due to a mix of the ideological and the personal.
The administration had reportedly advised her against running for governor or the Senate in Georgia because she couldn't win a battleground state.
Greene has ruled out both, but denied it was because of Trump.
Summer says her seat is relatively safe, but she'll almost certainly face a primary challenger now.
And for now, Summer says Greene continues to wield some influence in MAGA commentator circles.
Green says she still ultimately supports the administration and is open to finding a way to move forward with the president.

Bishops backed the statement 216 to 5 in a vote.
