President Trump on Wednesday said that billionaire George Soros and his son should be charged under racketeering law for allegedly “supporting violent Protests, and much more.”

“George 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 said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president added.

Federal RICO law, an acronym for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization, is aimed at organized criminal activity and can be used to address multiple different crimes. The president did not provide any evidence against Soros or his son, nor did he cite specific incidents.

Trump did not specify in his post which son of Soros’s he was talking about. According to a New York Times report from June, there are five Soros children and four sons.

One of the sons, Alex Soros, is the chair of Open Society Foundations, which his father founded. The younger Soros is also married to Huma Abedin, a longtime aide of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The elder Soros has long been a target of the right, with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) previously claiming that he has funded groups involved in pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.

The Hill has reached out to the Open Society Foundations for comment.
