Who is George Soros, the famed philanthropist under attack?

Billionaire investor George Soros, whose left-leaning donations have triggered criticism from right-wingers for years, has long been painted as “the puppet master and the extreme left-wing manipulator,” as he once sarcastically described himself.

Most of the conspiracy theories involving Soros, 95, have also targeted his nonprofit, Open Society Foundations, which was founded decades ago and is now chaired by his son, Alex Soros. Among the accusations against the Soros-led organization are claims by President Donald Trump that it funds violent protesters.

The vitriol against George Soros resurfaced in the Oval Office on Thursday, when Trump told reporters he thought Soros was a “likely candidate” for an investigation just days after he instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek criminal charges against former FBI Director James Comey, California Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Leticia James.

“If you look at Soros, he’s at the top of everything,” Trump added. “He’s in every story that I read, so I guess he’d be a likely candidate.”

Probably a lot of the credit for why so much of eastern europe has democratic governments is attributable to Soros. Look at the recent elections in Moldova this past weekend. The seeds of a democratic society were sown decades ago.

more recently the record is mixed
