A former California podcaster has been arrested on charges of making repeated threats against the U.S. president. Benjamin Azariah Southworth, 40, from Los Angeles, allegedly used social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok to express hostility toward former President Donald Trump and his supporters. According to an indictment released recently, Southworth encouraged abuse, harassment, intimidation, and violence against the former president. He is set to appear in federal district court in Los Angeles for an arraignment on Thursday. In one of his posts, Southworth created a video where he depicted himself teleporting into the Oval Office behind Trump and raising a knife to the president’s head, as if to stab him. Prosecutors also claim he sold merchandise on his website that included threatening slogans, such as "Kill Trump." These actions are part of the legal case against him, which includes multiple charges related to online threats and incitement. Southworth was the former host of the podcast "Yass, Jesus!" and appeared on a Christian reality show called "The Remix." He is also charged with cyberstalking and harassment directed at a personal attorney of the former president and their family. While the victim was not named in the indictment, FBI Director Kash Patel identified the individual as Jay Sekulow, a former lawyer involved in Trump's impeachment proceedings, in a social media post. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized in his post that such threats are both criminal and deeply troubling, stating that law enforcement will take strong action against those responsible. Attorney General Todd Blanche also commented on Southworth’s arrest, stating that those who make violent threats online will be held accountable and cannot hide behind their screens. The case highlights the legal consequences of online harassment and threats directed at public figures.
