Former Voice of America employee Seth Jason arrested for allegedly making death threats against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her staff over a nearly two-year period.
A former Voice of America employee and reserve police officer was arrested Thursday after allegedly making continuous threats to murder Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and her family over a span of nearly two years.
Seth Jason, 64, of Maryland, was arrested by the United States Capitol Police (USCP) and is facing a four-count indictment for allegedly 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.
Police also seized a laptop, several telephones, an iPad and multiple thumb drives.
During a news conference on Thursday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said the threats were made «repeatedly and continuously» from October 2023 through the end of January this year.
Pirro said Jason was accused of making statements including, «I’m looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you. We’re coming after you and your staff, and we are locked and loaded. We’re going to take you all out. We’ve got our AK-47s. You’re going to get one between the eyes. Bam, bam, bam.»
Staff members at Greene’s offices were also threatened, including the staff members’ families, according to Pirro.
