George Soros and Donald Trump
George Soros, left, and former President Donald Trump.
  • Trump said Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is backed by the billionaire philanthropist George Soros.
  • George Soros, who is Jewish, is at the center of many right-wing conspiracy theories.
  • In 2018, he was the target of a Trump supporter who mailed an explosive device to his home.

As former President Donald Trump lashed out online ahead of a looming possible indictment, he slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg this past Saturday in an all-caps Truth Social post for being "FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS."

In the post, Trump went on to call Bragg "corrupt" and "highly political," and pointed to an increase in violent crime in New York under the DA's watch.
