"High-profile Megadonors Propel New York AG's Lawsuit Against Trump"

Filings reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal that George Soros, along with two of his family members and other megadonors, played a significant role in supporting the political career of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is currently suing former President Trump. Soros, known for his anti-Trump efforts, contributed at least $20,000 to James' campaign, while other left-wing donors such as Reid Hoffman and Karla Jurvetson also provided substantial financial support. The civil fraud trial, presided over by Judge Arthur Engoron, has been criticized by Trump, who has labeled James a "radical-left attorney general" and accused Engoron of being a "Democrat" and an "operative." Engoron, who has exclusively donated to Democrats in the past, holds the authority to determine the outcome and penalties of the trial, which seeks a $250 million penalty against Trump's businesses.
