Excerpt:
US President Donald Trump called Wednesday for billionaire George Soros and his son to face criminal charges over unfounded claims that the family, a favorite target of the right, is behind “violent protests” around the country.
Trump did not specify what prompted his morning outburst, but it comes as his administration pursues multiple criminal investigations against his perceived enemies.
“George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform, referring to a law against taking part in a criminal organization.
Long-standing conspiracy theories involving the Soros family swirled again in June, as street protests broke out in Los Angeles against a ramp up of immigration raids.
Trump used the demonstrations as justification to deploy the National Guard and Marines into the Democratic-run city.
