According to recent reports, George Soros and his son Alexander have had high-level access to the Biden White House, with Alexander visiting at least 14 times as his father's emissary. The Soros family has spent billions on worldwide causes in recent decades, with a focus on issues such as opening borders and taking extreme action to combat climate change. Their donations have also helped to elect left-leaning prosecutors across the nation. Many have voiced concerns about the influence that the billionaire philanthropist may have over the current administration. Meanwhile, critics of the Soros family argue that they are free to spend their money as they choose while detractors can point out what they are doing. However, the amount of access the family has to high-level officials raises questions about the influence of money in politics. This news comes as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faced criticism for not disclosing his trips with Republican businessman Harlan Crow. The common factor between both stories is the influence of the ultra-rich in American political affairs.
