President Donald Trump suggested in a social media post on Wednesday that left-wing billionaire George Soros and his son, Alexander Soros, could be targeted for a criminal investigation soon.
“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America. We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE,” Trump wrote on the X platform.
“Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he concluded.
New information surfaced last month about the “burn bags” discovered in a secure FBI facility, suggesting they contained evidence linking longtime Democratic donor Soros to the Trump–Russia investigation.
At 95, Soros has long been a target of conservative conspiracy theories, and these latest claims hint at an alleged plot by Obama–era officials to undermine President Trump with manipulated or false intelligence tying him to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that a classified appendix from Special Counsel John Durham’s report on Russiagate was among the materials stored in those burn bags inside a SCIF—rooms designated for lawmakers to review sensitive, compartmented information.
The previously undisclosed room was discovered deep within FBI headquarters by members of Patel’s team. Inside, they found bags labeled for destruction—some allegedly containing evidence linking Soros’s Open Society Foundation to an FBI plan to circulate unfounded Trump-Russia claims even before the launch of the agency’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the matter.
The annex of Durham’s report contains what U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called “one of the biggest political scandals and cover-ups in American history.” A source told Fox News that although the appendix does not clearly outline the type of intelligence gathering conducted on Trump and Russia, it details—“with alarming specificity”—the steps the FBI would later take in the investigation.
The appendix also reportedly contains information linking George Soros’ Open Society Foundation to foreign sources from which some of the Trump-Russia allegations originated. According to the document, Russian hackers breached the foundation’s email servers in 2016.
“Two of the apparently hacked emails appear to have originated from the Open Society Foundations,” the appendix states, noting that the author of the Soros foundation’s emails was Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional director for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations.
