George Soros says he doesn’t even know Alvin Bragg -
Mr. Soros, the liberal billionaire mega-donor, has been linked to Mr. Bragg through his Open Society Foundations that financed a wave of liberal prosecutors elected throughout the country.
The link between the billionaire and the prosecutor regained the media spotlight after Mr. Bragg’s grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump on charges stemming from a $130,000 hush money payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016. The charge is rooted in a $1 million donation Mr. Soros made to the Color of Change PAC, a racial justice group that heavily backed Mr. Bragg’s campaign in 2021.
Several of Soros’ family members gave directly to Mr. Bragg’s campaign, including Mr. Soros’ son Jonathan Soros and daughter-in-law Jennifer Allan Soros who donated approximately $20,000 combined to Mr. Bragg. That case resulted in a judge ordering Mr. Trump to pay $2 million in damages and led to the foundation being shut down over allegations of misused funds.
The indictment remains under seal. New York judges typically keep charges under seal until a defendant makes an initial appearance in court.
