Man charged with threatening to kill Boston Globe journalists

A California man was arrested and charged Thursday with making violent threats to Boston Globe employees, calling the newspaper the “enemy of the people,” the U.S. attorney’s office for Massachusetts said.

Robert D. Chain, 68, of Encino, was charged with making threatening communications in interstate commerce, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Court documents say Chain made about 14 threatening calls in reaction to the Globe’s efforts to organize a coordinated response from newspapers to President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on the media.
