U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday on his Truth Social platform that billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his son Alex should be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, alleging they financed “violent protests” across the country. Trump wrote that the Soros family and its “group of psychopaths” had caused “great damage” and vowed, “We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more.” He offered no evidence for the claims. Enacted in 1970, the RICO statute is typically used against organized-crime enterprises and requires prosecutors to establish a pattern of criminal activity tied to an organization. A spokesperson for Soros’s Open Society Foundations called the accusations “outrageous and false,” saying the group supports peaceful protest and fundamental freedoms. No U.S. law-enforcement agency has announced an investigation of the Soros family, and the administration has not disclosed any documentation to support the president’s allegations.
