Ex-Voice of America Employee Arrested and Charged With Threatening Marjorie Taylor Greene

A former employee of Voice of America was arrested on Thursday on charges of repeatedly threatening to kill Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and others. Seth Jason, who previously worked as a studio supervisor and lighting director at the federally funded news agency, was charged with four felonies in the case. Prosecutors accused Mr. Jason of making eight calls — from Oct. 11, 2023, to Jan. 21, 2025 — threatening to kill Ms. Greene, her staff, and their families with 'the use of firearms.' '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,' the Department of Justice said in a statement announcing his arrest. Federal prosecutors have previously charged people who have made violent threats against Ms. Greene, a hard-right ally of President Trump in Congress who has more recently had public disagreements with the president. In the years before she was elected to Congress, Ms. Greene repeatedly endorsed executing top Democratic politicians on social media. 'Threatening an elected official, their family, or their staff is not free speech,' Ms. Greene said in a statement thanking law enforcement officials for bringing the case. 'It's a crime, and it must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. My family and I are incredibly grateful.' The department did not describe the threats in detail in its statement, and investigators have not provided additional information in court filings. A lawyer for Mr. Jason declined to comment. But the nature of the charges against Mr. Jason suggest that prosecutors will portray his actions as politically motivated. The two most serious charges he faces accuse him of making threats as a means to coerce Ms. Greene, either intending to intimidate the congresswoman or to punish her for her official conduct. Those two charges — influencing a federal official by threatening them and influencing a federal official by threatening the official's family — each carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. The government accuses Mr. Jason of making most of the threats during the Biden administration, and making a final threatening call on Jan. 21, the second day of President Trump's second term. That was months before Mr. Trump began his sweeping effort to dismantle Voice of America, which once reached millions worldwide but whose operations have now been sharply reduced.

Beloved high school teacher in Ohio killed by boyfriend, police say

A beloved high school teacher in Ohio was killed by her boyfriend last weekend, police said. Jason Palmer, 37, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of 46-year-old Rachel Prince, who was found dead at their home in Columbus on July 13, CBS affiliate WBNS reported. Officials reportedly said Palmer was Prince's boyfriend. WBNS reported that police were called to the home on Cobblestone Drive in northwest Columbus around 1:20 p.m. on July 13 after a complaint. At the home, officers found Prince unresponsive, and she was later pronounced dead. The Franklin County Coroner's Office said the woman's cause of death was strangulation with blunt force trauma to the head and arms, the TV station reported. WBNS reported, citing court records, that Palmer was seen on top of Prince, who was lying on the walkway outside their home, on July 12 around 10:30 p.m. Shortly after, he reportedly picked up Prince and carried her inside the home. In a letter to Marion-Franklin High School families, principal Tanita Fleming said Prince was in her second year as an art teacher. "Ms. Prince devoted her life to uplifting young people, always leading with compassion," Fleming said in a letter posted to the school's Facebook page. Prince's presence "brought hope and guidance to countless lives," the letter added before saying her "kind spirit made her a favorite amongst the students." The district said resources are available to students in need.

A Timeline of What We Know About Trump and Epstein

By his own admission, President Trump was friendly for at least 15 years with Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison in 2019. Their relationship is now under scrutiny after the Trump administration decided to withhold parts of the files from the sex trafficking investigation into Mr. Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. Mr. Epstein had many connections to rich and powerful people that both the right and the left suspect of being involved in the financier's criminality. Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed to release some materials, including flight logs from Mr. Epstein's private jets, but she held back others, including what officials described as child sexual abuse material. The Department of Justice's review of the files 'revealed no incriminating 'client list,'' the department wrote in an unsigned July memo. 'There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.' Mr. Trump has instructed Ms. Bondi to release only 'credible' information, and suggested he is concerned that innocent people could be unfairly smeared if the full files are released. He has condemned questions about his handling of the case as a 'hoax' perpetrated by Democrats and called Mr. Epstein a 'creep.' Mr. Epstein was convicted of paying teenage girls money to perform sex acts. He hanged himself in his cell in 2019, according to local and federal authorities. Ms. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2021 of conspiring with Mr. Epstein for nearly a decade to aid in his abuse. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
