Soros denies ties to Manhattan DA Bragg amidst controversy.

Billionaire George Soros denied knowing or donating to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who has been accused by the right of being a Soros-funded puppet prosecutor. The connection between the two is based on a donation Soros made to Color of Change, which endorsed Bragg in 2021 and spent around $500,000 on turnout efforts on his behalf. Despite never directly interacting, the jerry-built connection has been trotted out as evidence of malicious intent by Bragg. Soros's wealth and religious affiliation have made him a target of antisemitic conspiracies, and the right sees the name "Soros" as a euphemism for globalist political manipulation.
