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.

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.

The Political Ties and Accusations Surrounding Trump's Indictment.

Republican lawmakers are attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's ties to billionaire George Soros as he prepares to bring an expected indictment against former President Donald Trump. However, records and people familiar with both men suggest that Soros' connection to Bragg is not as clear as Republicans leaders make it sound. There is no proof that Bragg is "bought by Soros," as claimed by Sen. J.D. Vance. Soros' involvement with Bragg appears to have come through his donations to the racial justice group Color of Change, which supported Bragg's campaign but did not receive earmarked funds from Soros.
