Kaleb Cole is facing charges related to an alleged plot to intimidate journalists through the use of threatening posters delivered to the homes of the recipients. A trial is underway for a Washington man believed to be behind a plot that targeted journalists and members of the Anti-Defamation League. Kaleb Cole, of Arlington, faces five federal charges including conspiracy, mailing threatening communications and interference with federally protected activities. Cole is believed to be the leader of the Washington chapter of the Atomwaffen Division, a small but extreme neo-Nazi hate group. Cole faces charges related to an alleged plot to intimidate journalists and those who are Jewish through the use of threatening posters delivered to the homes of the recipients. Another Atomwaffen member, 25-year-old Cameron Shea, was sentenced to three years in prison in August for his role in the plot. KING 5‘s Chris Ingalls received one of the posters in January 2020. It’s believed Cole targeted Ingalls after his reporting on the Atomwaffen Division in 2019. He and his family fled their home out of fear for their safety.
