Trump's Indictment Drama with Manhattan DA Bragg

Former President Donald Trump and other Republicans have attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg by invoking liberal billionaire George Soros, claiming that Bragg was "hand-picked and funded by George Soros." However, Soros did not make any direct contributions to Bragg's campaign, and his connection to Bragg is indirect through a liberal political action committee that supported Bragg's candidacy. The PAC denounced the Soros-related attacks on Bragg, calling them "antisemitic" and "anti-Black." Soros has been a vocal advocate of criminal justice reform and of progressive district attorney candidates, and has made significant contributions to the Color of Change PAC, which supported Bragg's campaign.
