Georgia Man Pleads Guilty to Threatening Greene

Sean Patrick Cirillo, a 34-year-old man from Georgia, has pleaded guilty to making threats against U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during phone calls to her Washington office on November 8, 2023. Cirillo made multiple alarming statements, including threats to kill Greene using a sniper rifle and to harm her staff, stating, 'I’ll come kill your family.' U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan condemned the threats, emphasizing that they would not tolerate any violence or intimidation against public officials. Cirillo faces up to five years in prison, with sentencing pending. This incident adds to a troubling pattern of threats against Greene, as another individual was sentenced for similar behavior last year. Greene had previously sought restitution for security upgrades following threats but was denied by the court.
