A former Voice of America (VOA) employee was indicted on Thursday for repeatedly making anonymous phone calls for over one year, where he threatened to kill Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her family.
According to the Indictment, Seth Jason of Maryland “repeatedly threatened to assault and murder the family members of Marjorie Taylor Greene” and “threatened to assault and murder Marjorie Taylor Greene” at her Georgia campaign offices.
Notably, the calls stopped on January 21, 2025, the day after President Trump was inaugurated.
This comes after United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Senior Avisor Kari Lake, who oversees USAGM Affiliates, including VOA, revealed in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing last month that there was an “active investigation going on at VOA for a series of threatening phone calls that have been coming out,” threatening a member of Congress and that “they’ve discovered that those phone calls were coming from inside the Voice of America.”
Following Lake’s bombshell testimony on her agency’s record of waste, fraud, mismanagement, self-dealing, national security failures, and violent radical employees, President Trump called for the complete destruction of VOA. “KILL IT!” he said on Truth Social.
Lake responded to the new indictment on X, agreeing with President Trump that “it’s time to shut it down.”
