Overview

• In a brief NBC News exchange on Saturday, President Donald Trump said George Soros "should be put in jail" and called him "a bad guy."
• On Fox & Friends a day earlier, Trump said his administration will "look into" Soros for possible RICO violations tied to alleged paid protests.
• The Open Society Foundations said it does not support or fund violent protests and labeled the accusations and threats false and outrageous.
• Reporting from multiple outlets characterizes the claims that Soros finances violent demonstrations as unproven.
• Trump’s remarks followed his pledge to pursue those he says contributed to Charlie Kirk’s killing, after authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson on murder and related charges.
