‘I Don’t Know Him’: George Soros Denies Connection To Manhattan DA Who Indicted Trump. Here’s The Truth.

George Soros, a leftist billionaire, denied knowing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who indicted former President Donald Trump on Thursday. Soros stated that he has never met Bragg nor supported him directly. However, Bragg’s campaign was aided by a group funded by Soros, according to sources. Critics have claimed that the case against Trump is politically motivated, referencing Bragg’s reputation for taking a soft-on-crime approach to violent crimes. Soros has donated over $40 million to various left-wing prosecutors’ campaigns in the last ten years.

Although Soros publicly denied supporting him, public records indicate that he contributed $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, which endorsed Bragg and pledged to spend $1 million on direct mail and voter turnout initiatives on his behalf. Soros’ Open Society Policy Center also donated $7 million in 2021 to the social welfare organization linked to the Color of Change.

Jonathan and Jennifer Soros, George Soros’ son and daughter-in-law, donated a combined $20,000 to Bragg’s campaign, and they made smaller contributions before the campaign. Republicans criticized these connections, but mainstream media outlets dismissed their concerns as conspiracy theories.

In an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal last year, Soros defended his financing of left-wing district attorneys and argued that recent spikes in crime could not be blamed on the policies of reform-minded prosecutors. As of last year, Soros backed at least 75 prosecutors in the United States, representing one in five Americans and half of the nation’s most populous cities and counties, and presiding over two in five homicides in the nation, according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund analysis.
