Overview

• In a Wednesday Truth Social post, the president said the Soros family should face racketeering charges for allegedly supporting violent protests.
• Multiple outlets and fact-checkers reported that Trump offered no evidence or specific incidents to substantiate the claim.
• Open Society Foundations said the allegation is false and that it does not support or fund violent protests, emphasizing free speech and peaceful protest.
• The White House and Justice Department declined to comment on whether any inquiry exists, leaving no public confirmation of a RICO case.
• Reporting situates the demand within longstanding conspiracy narratives about Soros and notes a broader pattern of probes targeting Trump critics, including the FBI search of John Bolton’s home last week.
