Overview

• In a brief NBC interview on Saturday, the president called George Soros “a bad guy” who “should be put in jail.”
• On Fox & Friends a day earlier, he said his administration will “look into” Soros for a potential Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations case.
• The Open Society Foundations said it does not support or fund violent protests and called threats against George and Alex Soros outrageous.
• The escalation comes after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk; police have arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in Utah, and officials are reportedly probing whether left-wing groups had any knowledge of or provided support to him.
• Organizers of the No Kings campaign say they plan nationwide protests on October 18 and project participation in the millions.
