The Department of Justice announced that a former Voice of America employee has been indicted for making death threats against not only Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), but also directed at her family and members of her staff.

 A press release issued Thursday from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Michael G. Sullivan of the United States Capitol Police said that the Maryland resident has been charged "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."

 "Seth Jason, of Edgewater, Maryland, was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police and the Anne Arundel Police Department early this morning, July 17, 2025," the release read. "Jason will make his initial appearance this afternoon before a magistrate judge in U.S. District Court."It went on to point out that the threatening calls were made inside the Voice of America headquarters.

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.

If he's convicted, the various charges could leave Jason serving time behind bars for the maximum penalty of 17 years' imprisonment.
