Benjamin Southworth, 40, Indicted For Threatening To Kill Trump

The Westlake podcaster posted Jay Sekulow's home address and phone number, telling followers to visit, facing 12 years.

  • From January to May, Southworth posted threats against Trump across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and his website.
  • He posted Sekulow's Brentwood, Tennessee home address, a photo of the house, and his phone number.
  • Southworth faces up to 12 years: five for threats, five for cyberstalking, two for harassment calls.

Why it matters: Posting a lawyer's home address online hands his audience the coordinates for a doorstep confrontation.
