Trump Threatens Soros and Son with RICO Charges

A spokesperson for Soros’s nonprofit, Open Society Foundations, which is chaired by son Alex Soros, said in a statement to The National News Desk Trump’s accusations are false and outrageous.

“The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests. Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles at home and around the world,” the spokesperson said.

“We stand for fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution, including the rights to free speech and peaceful protest that are hallmarks of any vibrant democracy.”

On Tuesday, Open Society Foundations said in a statement it helps fund an “array” of nonprofits across the U.S. that “work to advance human rights, freedom, and justice and to defend democracy.” Some of the organizations “undertake peaceful civic engagement, which is critical to the strength of our democracy,” Open Society Foundations noted.

“We do not pay people to protest or directly train or coordinate protestors. All OSF grantees are required to comply with the law and we expect our grantees to uphold our shared commitment to human rights, dignity, and nonviolence,” the organization continued.

“The Open Society Foundations oppose all forms of violence, including violent protests.”
