Alleged anonymous sources within Trump\u2019s campaign also <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-entertainment-racial-injustice-government-and-politics-1d5fc88833c418b39550a77502e5bcc3\">told<\/a> The Associated Press that his team\u00a0is putting new protocols in place to ensure that those who meet with him are fully vetted and approved.<\/p>\n<p>A Trump spokesperson has not returned an Epoch Times request comment. Neither Trump nor his campaign have publicly commented on Greene\u2019s statement to reporters Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>While news outlets and the Department of Justice have described (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-dc\/case-multi-defendant\/file\/1367791\/download\">pdf<\/a>) Fuentes as a \u201cwhite nationalist,\u201d he\u2019s denied that label. In a statement, Fuentes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/trump-responds-to-reports-he-had-dinner-with-kanye-west-at-mar-a-lago_4887985.html\">said<\/a> Sunday that\u00a0\u201cI reject all labels other than Christian American.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Greene appeared at a Fuentes event and spoke, although she later distanced herself from Fuentes. When speaking to reporters, the Georgia Republican said that she doesn\u2019t regret her message to those in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t regret talking to the kids that were there because I don\u2019t understand why they follow him. But would I have gone to his event? No,\u201d Greene said Tuesday, adding, \u201cI don\u2019t want to have anything to do with him.\u201d Greene then wondered who is funding Fuentes and whether West is paying him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4462720\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/05\/12\/Marjorie-Taylor-Greene-ccet-9A6A8343-1200x800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy size-medium wp-image-4462720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/themes\/eet\/images\/white.png\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marjorie-Taylor-Greene-ccet-9A6A8343-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4462720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Marjorie-Taylor-Greene-ccet-9A6A8343-600x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epoch Times Photo\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a> Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) joins a Republican congressional delegation at the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 25, 2022. (Charlotte Cuthbertson\/The Epoch Times)<\/figure>\n<h2>Trump Post<\/h2>\n<p>Over the weekend, Trump explained that he wanted to \u201chelp\u201d West, whom he described as \u201ca seriously troubled man,\u201d coming more than a week after he announced he\u2019s embarking on a third bid for the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Amid a surge of reports and critical statements made by Republicans, Trump added Saturday that \u201cFake News went CRAZY!\u201d over the meeting. On Tuesday, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) both denounced Fuentes and West during an event with reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I help a seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black, Ye (Kanye West), who has been decimated in his business and virtually everything else, and who has always been good to me, by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so that I can give him very much needed \u2018advice,\u2019\u201d Trump wrote on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>West showed up at his resort \u201cwith 3 people, two of which I didn\u2019t know, the other a political person who I haven\u2019t seen in years. I told him don\u2019t run for office, a total waste of time, can\u2019t win,\u201d Trump\u2019s post said. He added that \u201cour dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Trump stated again that he had \u201cnever heard of\u201d Fuentes. \u201cI had no idea what his views were and they weren\u2019t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn\u2019t have been accepted,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the former president has not commented on subsequent reports about the meeting, including anonymously sourced articles alleging that former Breitbart editor\u00a0Milo Yiannopoulos was seeking revenge against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Fuentes went on his <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/s\/nickjfuentes\">Telegram channel<\/a> to dispute allegations in reports this week that he was trying to politically damage Trump by showing up to the Mar-a-Lago dinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy intention was not to hurt Trump by attending the dinner, that is fake news. I love Donald Trump,\u201d Fuentes wrote Wednesday in a post. \u201cThe Trump Dinner was not a \u2018set-up,\u2019 and I never said it was. This is a conspiracy theory fabricated by Con Inc and I never \u2018echoed\u2019 that sentiment at all,\u201d he also said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, West released a video saying he would run for president in 2024. It\u2019s not clear, however, if the rapper and fashion designer filed paperwork to do so.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, West, Fuentes, and Yiannopolous appeared on YouTube host Tim Pool\u2019s show. West <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/kanye-west-says-irs-froze-bank-accounts-because-he-owes-50-million-in-taxes_4893064.html\">stated<\/a> that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) closed several of his bank accounts due to tax issues after Adidas and other companies severed ties with him over public remarks he made about Jews.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, when West was questioned about those remarks, he left the interview and was followed by Fuentes and Yiannopolous.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jack-phillips\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13\/Jack-Phillips.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Phillips\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Breaking News Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack Phillips is a senior reporter for The Epoch Times based in New York.
