A $1 million donation from liberal billionaire George Soros to a PAC that backed ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg has come under the spotlight as the Democrat weighs indicting Donald Trump.
Trump may soon face an indictment in connection to alleged hush money payments he made in 2016 to porn star Stormy Daniels, who has said the two had a sexual relationship. Soros donated $1 million in May 2021 to Color of Change, a racial justice PAC that later used the money to support Bragg in his successful district attorney bid against Republican Thomas Kenniff, a criminal defense attorney."I’ve seen rumors swirl.
In February 2022, the Daily Mail reported that Color of Change was pulling a $500,000 donation to Bragg over an anonymous woman's allegation against the then-candidate. It's unclear what that allegation was, and the outlet did not speak directly to the woman in question. Color of Change's support for Bragg came around the same time Soros's family poured money into Bragg's campaign. Jonathan Soros, the son of George Soros, donated $10,000 on April 26, 2021, to the Democrat's campaign, records show. Then, on April 29, 2021, Jonathan Soros's wife, Jennifer Allan Soros, donated $10,000 to Bragg's campaign.
