Trump Urges RICO Charges Against Soros, Son for Protest Support

President Donald Trump has called for federal racketeering charges under the RICO Act against billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his son, accusing them of supporting violent protests across the United States. Trump made these allegations in posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, describing Soros and his associates as causing significant harm to the country and warning them of close scrutiny. Soros, a Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor, has funded various progressive causes through his Open Society Foundations, often becoming a target of right-wing criticism and antisemitic conspiracies. Trump's call for charges comes amid ongoing political tensions, with critics accusing him of using presidential powers against political opponents. The RICO Act, typically used to prosecute organized crime, could carry heavy sentences if applied. This development adds to the charged political atmosphere, as Trump himself faces RICO charges in Georgia related to election investigations.
