George Soros has spoken out on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Soros said, “As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact, I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him…I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president.”
Although George Soros did not donate directly to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg he did give one million to the Color of Change PAC, which then spent hundreds of thousands backing Alvin Bragg.
Liberal billionaire George Soros has distanced himself from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg after former President Donald Trump’s indictment, saying he’s never met Bragg and didn’t donate to his campaign.
“As for Alvin Bragg, as a matter of fact I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him,” Soros told Semafor. “I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president.”
Soros’ comments came after President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called Bragg “Soros-backed,” which has been echoed by many other Republicans. Soros has supported dozens of district attorney candidates across the country in recent years. Last summer, he penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed explaining why he puts his money behind “reform-minded” prosecutors.
While Soros did not donate directly to Bragg’s campaign, in May 2021, he gave $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, which, shortly after receiving the donation, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars backing Bragg’s candidacy.
Even many liberals view this case as laughable.
Attorney Alan Dershowitz said, “This is the thinnest case, the most stretched case I’ve ever seen.”
Dershowitz also appeared on Newsmax’s “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” on Thursday, blasting the grand jury’s ruling as constitutionally “very, very questionable.”

“This is the thinnest case, the most stretched case I’ve ever seen – and that’s coming from a liberal Democrat… It’s not about politics. I love the legal system, I’ve been doing this for 60 years. I’ve never quite seen a case like this, and for it to be the first prosecution of a former president and the first prosecution of a man who’s running for president against an incumbent Democrat… I’ll tell you, it’s banana republic time.”
“When you’re going after the man who is running for president of the United States against the incumbent president, you better have a strong case, and this is about the weakest case I’ve seen in 60 years of law practice,” said Dershowitz. “I’m shocked.”
