Voice of America Employee Accused of Threatening Marjorie Taylor Greene

GRIMY TIMES EXCLUSIVE: In a chilling turn of events, Seth Jason, a former employee of Voice of America (VOA), stands accused of threatening calls against Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Washington D.C. authorities have charged Jason with influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Jason, a resident of Edgewater, Maryland, made numerous threatening calls to Rep. Greene’s offices between October 2023 and January 2025. Sources reveal that these menacing phone calls originated from studios and control rooms within the VOA headquarters, where Jason had been employed.

In what authorities describe as a series of terrorizing threats, Jason is alleged to have threatened the use of firearms to kill Rep. Greene, her staff, and their families over the course of eight separate calls. The charges against Jason are serious, with potential sentences reaching up to ten years for influencing a federal official by threatening a family member and influencing a federal official by threat.

The investigation into Jason’s alleged activities was spearheaded by the U.S. Capitol Police and State Department Office of Inspector General. The Anne Arundel Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland also played pivotal roles in this probe. Assistant U.S. Attorney Travis Wolf and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Horan are handling the prosecution.

It is important to note that the charges against Jason are merely allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The maximum penalties for these crimes have been outlined by Congress and are provided for informational purposes only.

This case serves as yet another stark reminder of the threats faced by public officials and sends a strong message about the consequences of such actions. Stay tuned to GRIMY TIMES for ongoing coverage of this developing story.
