A longtime, (now-ex) employee of Voice of America has been arrested for repeatedly making threats to kill Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, as well as her staff and all of her families.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced today that Seth Jason of Maryland has been indicted after it was discovered that he, allegedly, made multiple threatening phone calls over more than a year.
So sad that MTG and her staffers had to deal with that — not just from some random weirdo, but from someone within the government!
Here’s what we know:

US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro has just announced that a longtime former Voice of America employee, Seth Jason, has been indicted for making eight calls over the last 15 months threatening to murder Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, her staff, and their families. The calls were made from INSIDE the offices and studios of VOA.
It’s starting to make a lot of sense why Kari Lake decided VOA had become so corrupt and radical that it needed to be completely dismantled.

This deranged sicko is facing multiple charges that could carry a sentence of up to ten years in prison.
A DOJ press release reads:
An indictment unsealed today in the District of Columbia charges a Maryland resident with influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment.
The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Michael G. Sullivan of the United States Capitol Police.
Seth Jason, of Edgewater, Maryland, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police and the Anne Arundel Police Department early this morning, July 17, 2025. Jason will make his initial appearance this afternoon before a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court
According to the indictment, between Oct. 11, 2023, and Jan. 21, 2025, Jason made threatening calls to the Dalton and Rome District Offices for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, Ga.).
The U.S. Capitol Police investigation revealed that the phone calls were made from various phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters, where Jason had worked as a longtime employee. In eight calls made over fifteen months, Jason threatened the use of firearms to kill Rep. Greene, her staff, and their families.
The charges in the indictment are merely allegations and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The maximum penalty for influencing a federal official by threatening a family member and influencing a federal official by threat is ten years imprisonment. The maximum penalty for interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure is five years imprisonment. The maximum penalty for anonymous telecommunications harassment is two years imprisonment. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes. If convicted of any offense, a defendant’s sentence will be determined by the court based on the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Kari Lake, who was appointed by President Trump to head Voice of America, posted this statement in response:
As the Trump Administration official overseeing VOA, I thank @JudgeJeanine Pirro for taking these threats seriously.

As the Trump Administration official overseeing VOA, I thank @JudgeJeanine Pirro for taking these threats seriously.I am sickened by what Congresswoman @RepMTG, her staff, and their families had to endure as the threats persisted for 15 months! It angers me that a taxpayer-funded VOA employee would use taxpayer-funded equipment in a depraved way to threaten the lives of people, including an elected official.If he is found guilty, I hope he is sentenced to the maximum amount of time behind bars.The alleged actions leading to this arrest illustrate only a small part of the past rot at Voice of America and the U.S. Agency for Global Media. President Trump wants the agency eliminated—I agree with him—it’s time to shut it down.
All of the people working within this agency need to be vetted.
Or, better yet, just shut it down altogether!
