Trump urges criminal charges against George Soros, son

Trump alleges George Soros and his son funded violent protests nationwide and calls for racketeering charges under the RICO Act despite no presented evidence.

  • On August 27, 2025, President Donald Trump called for criminal charges under the RICO Act against George Soros and his son Alex, alleging their support of violent protests across the United States.
  • Trump made these accusations amid a broader campaign of legal threats and probes against perceived political rivals, despite offering no evidence of wrongdoing by the Soros family.
  • George Soros, a 95-year-old billionaire philanthropist and Holocaust survivor, has funneled millions through his Open Society Foundations into progressive causes for over three decades, with his son now leading the organization.
  • Trump accused George Soros and his son Alex, describing them as prominent left-wing figures, of involvement in violent demonstrations and suggested they should face federal racketeering charges. Representatives from the Open Society Foundations condemned these statements, labeling them as baseless and offensive.
  • These events reflect continuing political polarization with repeated conspiracy theories targeting Soros, and no formal charges or investigations against him have been publicly confirmed as of this date.
