The Controversial Connections and Accusations Surrounding Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg

Claims that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was "bought" by George Soros are exaggerated. Soros donated to a liberal group that endorses progressive prosecutors and supports efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system, which used a significant portion of the money to support Bragg in his 2021 campaign. Color of Change, the group in question, did not donate to Bragg's campaign directly and did not meet its pledge to spend $1 million on his behalf. Soros and Bragg have never met, and Soros has been transparent about his support for progressive prosecutors.
