The White House reportedly told the Secret Service that former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was responsible for a security leak that led protesters to interrupt President Donald Trump’s dinner at a Washington, D.C., restaurant in the fall.

Two sources familiar with the matter told Axios that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off the Code Pink protesters who disrupted Trump's dinner.

Greene — who was previously a MAGA firebrand before a public falling out with the president — has pushed back on the allegations, telling Axios that the insinuation was an "absolute lie, a dangerous lie."

"I would never do that," she said. Greene acknowledged that she had recommended Joe’s Seafood restaurant to Trump, but didn't know that he was eating there that night.
