How billionaire George Soros funded NYC's woke DA Alvin Bragg to the tune of ... trends now
The Manhattan district attorney supposedly preparing to arrest Donald Trump for allegedly hiding hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels received $1million from a political action committee funded by billionaire George Soros.
Alvin Bragg, who was elected Manhattan DA in November 2021, had been involved in numerous investigations into Trump and his family before being sworn in last year, even bragging he had sued Trump 'more than 100 times' while serving in the NY Attorney General's Office.
While campaigning to become the next Manhattan DA, he received more than $1million in support from the Color Of Change PAC, a racial justice group which receives funding from Soros, a Hungarian-born billionaire financier-turned American mega donor.
Half of that money was clawed back by Color of Change after an unidentified woman made an unspecified allegation against him (Bragg told DailyMail.com at the time that he'd done nothing wrong).
George Soros has reportedly sunk at least $40million into electing liberal district attorneys
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is one of at least 75 liberal district attorneys who have received millions in funding from George Soros-backed political action committees
Bragg is just one of at least 75 district attorneys Soros has backed in recent years as part of an ongoing campaign to reshape American society in his liberal vision.
In a 2022 op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Soros defended his donations and said the strategies he supports reduce crime, based on the data that he had seen.
Though Bragg inherited the investigation into Trump over the alleged 2016 hush-money payment, he pursued it with zeal as soon as he was sworn into office. It could be coming to a head as soon as next week, after Trump announced he had been leaked information indicating he would be arrested on Tuesday.
Over the years Soros has thrown millions behind liberal DAs - either with outright donations or funneled through political action committees - effectively buying elections and leading to the installment of prosecutors who support his leftist agenda.
Soros has spent at least $40million on the project, according to Matt Palumbo, author of The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros a minuscule sum for a man worth at least $32billion.
The billionaire's DAs have stripped away bail laws and opted to forgo prosecuting crimes like theft and reckless driving, effectively giving criminals a free pass and leading to the breakdown of law and order across the United States.
Crime has since soared in major cities overseen by Soros's DAs.
In 2021 under Kim Foxx's reign, Chicago had the most murders it's seen since 1994. And in Philadelphia, drug use and violent crime has seen a surge since Larry Krasner took office.
Soros has long backed liberal politics. In the 2000s he was an outspoken opponent of President George W. Bush and donated millions to hinder his reelection, and later donated heavily to the presidential campaigns of Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton.
The billionaire has long been outspoken about his disdain for Trump.
As recently as February, he referred to Trump as a 'pitiful figure... whose 'narcissism has turned into a disease,' at the Munich Security Conference.
Soros has funded the campaigns of dozens of liberal prosecutors across the US. He has defended it, saying America needs to invest less in prisons and more in other strategies that he claims will reduce crime

During that speech, Soros expressed his hopes that Ron DeSantis would win the Republican nomination and lead Trump would in turn run as an independent, which would result in the two candidates dividing the Republican party and leading to a landslide Democrat victory.
Throughout Trump's presidency, Soros was a constant critic. He warned that Trump's economic policies would lead to American economic calamity, called him a 'con man' shortly after his election victory in 2016, and predicted that infighting among Trump's cabinet and advisors would lead his administration's failure.
Bragg had a long history of chasing legal action against Trump. He was a prominent member of the team which sued the Donald J. Trump Foundation in 2018 for misusing the non-profit organization for his own professional and political gain.
