“We’re going to look at Soros because I think it’s a Rico case against him and other people,” Trump said Friday Fox & Friends When he referred to his demand that Soros be prosecuted for racketing.
“Because this is more than as protests,” he said. “This is real agitation.”
In a short phone call on Saturday with NBC News, the president stood at his attack on Soros and suggested he be jailed.
“He’s a bad guy,” Trump told the business in short Noiks. It was not clear where he further elaborated.
The Open Society Foundation is funding progressive causes around the world with a focus on justice, human rights and combating corruption by election.

In responsible for Trump’s latest threats, the Open Society Foundation withdrew to former station, which reprimands the accusations as “overview and false.”
“The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros and chairman of Alex Soros, do not support or finance violent protests,” the organization said.
