DAYTON, Ohio (WLIO) – A Dayton man has been arrested after allegedly making threatening phone calls to U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan.
Jeffrey Dorsey, 60, was taken into custody by the FBI this week in connection with a voicemail he reportedly left at Jordan’s office in late June. According to federal authorities, Dorsey left a 90-second, expletive-laden message in which he said he would kill the Republican congressman if he voted to approve President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which included proposed cuts to Medicaid.
The House approved the bill on July 3rd, and President Trump signed it into law on July 4th. Jordan's staff turned the voicemail over to the FBI, who traced the call back to Dorsey.
Dorsey is scheduled to have a detention hearing Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
