Trump Cites Paid Agitators Hints at RICO Scrutiny for Soros Network

By Joe Saunders | The Western Journal

The American left’s most infamous financial backer could be looking at a federal investigation.

On “Fox & Friends” Friday, President Donald Trump said billionaire George Soros could be subject to federal racketeering laws for bankrolling “professional agitators” who have been behind protests around the country.

And he cited his own experience at a Washington, D.C., restaurant this week as Exhibit A.

“You know they have professional agitators,” Trump told the “Fox & Friends” hosts.

“I had one the other night. I went into the restaurant and this woman stood up. I looked at her immediately. She had money… They get paid for it.”

The incident took place Tuesday, when Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were accosted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators during a night out at Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, a dining establishment near the White House.

Blaming Soros “and others,” Trump said, “We’re going to look into Soros, because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people.”

“Because this is more than, like, protest. This is real agitation. This is riots in the street. And we’re going to look into that.”

It was the second time in less than a month that Trump has raised the possibility of a Soros prosecution under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

In an Aug. 27 post on the Truth Social social media platform, Trump wrote that Soros and his “wonderful Radical Left son” should be “charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more, all throughout the United States of America.”

Trump did not identify the son, but Soros’ eldest son, Alex, has succeeded his father as chairman of the Soros-funded Open Society foundation, so he’s likely the one being referenced.

Since at least February 2024, he’s been romantically linked to Huma Abedin, the longtime Hillary Clinton aide who was originally married to the notorious former New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner. Soros and Abedin got married in June.
