Billionaire philanthropist George Soros has denied allegations of funding Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment of former President Donald Trump. The allegations have been circulating in right-wing politics, with many accusing Bragg of being a "Soros-funded puppet prosecutor." Soros has come forward to say that he neither knew Bragg nor had contributed to his election campaign. The only tie between the two men was a $1 million donation made by Soros to the organization Color of Change, which endorsed Bragg in 2021. The organization never directly donated funds to Bragg, but they did spend around $500,000 on turnout efforts on his behalf. Soros had donated to the group multiple times before it endorsed Bragg, and there is no evidence of direct ties between Soros and Bragg. Trump has vehemently attacked Bragg, stating that he had been "hand-picked and funded by George Soros." Soros called the allegations far-fetched conspiracy theories and urged people to focus on the serious charges against the former president. Soros, a Jewish-Hungarian billionaire, has repeatedly been the target of anti-Semitic conspiracies casting him as a shadowy figure behind political change.
