For example, Soros’ son was among those invited to a state dinner during French President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to the United States in December 2022. Fox News also publishes a list of White House officials. that a financier’s son met — all of Biden’s top advisers. Soros Jr.’s social networks are filled with photos with high-ranking officials from the United States and other countries, for example, former President Barack Obama, leaders of the Democratic Party.
Few people can boast of having such direct and frequent access to power in the United States. Fox News reports that Alexander has long continued his 92-year-old father’s work, including raising funds for the Democratic Party. And the New York Post newspaper calls Soros Jr. “the de facto ambassador to the White House.”
Alexander Soros displays connections to politicians, whose personal access is opened to him by generous financial injections into their careers
Such access by Soros Jr. to the US president’s team is alarming to Biden’s political opponents. Mike Howell, head of the surveillance project at the conservative NGO Heritage Foundation, believes that “left-wing forces have become dependent on Soros money and don’t even try to hide it anymore.” Matt Palumbo – the author of a book on Soros’ financial empire – believes that his influence on the White House is now greater than ever: “Soros’ proteges are all around the White House” .
The influence of the financier on various areas of politics in the United States is no secret, but, as the New York Post points out, Soros Sr. nevertheless tried to carry out these activities undercover, discreetly, through a network of various organizations, while his son displays his connections with the American political establishment much more openly, sometimes personally investing a lot of money in political campaigns. Soros has several children, but Alexander, according to US media, is the candidate most likely to continue his father’s lobbying work for liberal values.
The content of Alexander’s numerous meetings with Biden’s inner circle is undisclosed, but conservative alarm may not be unfounded. For example, the Soros family generously funded the campaign of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who filed criminal charges against former President Donald Trump last week. According to Fox News, the Soros invested up to $1 million in structures that promoted Bragg to the position.
The indictment of a former US president was the first such precedent in the country’s history, but Trump allies and, as opinion polls show, most Americans believed that the charges of Bragg were highly politicized.
Trump himself, commenting on the accusations, said on his social network Truth Social that the head of the “corrupt and highly politicized district attorney’s office” in Manhattan is funded by Soros.
In the meantime
Access to high office for money is not the privilege of Soros alone, but part of the system in the United States, which is used by the main sponsors of politicians.
In recent days, a major scandal has erupted around the most conservative of the justices of the American Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas. As ProPublica discovered, Thomas traveled every year for more than 25 years at the expense of billionaire Texas real estate developer Harlan Crow, who is a top Republican Party sponsor. In particular, the billionaire provided the judge with a personal plane and a yacht for travel, paid for luxurious rooms and dinners at his private resorts for VIPs. For example, in 2019, Thomas and his wife flew to Indonesia on a private jet, where they spent nine days on a large Crow yacht. ProPublica calculated that if the judge had paid out of pocket, the trip would have cost him about half a million dollars. At the same time, Thomas did not report on his friend’s generous hospitality, although he did state other expensive gifts from him, including a copy of the Bible for $19,000.
Thomas himself explained this by saying that he and Crowe are “very dear friends” and spent many years vacationing with their families. According to the judge, at the beginning of his work at the Supreme Court, he consulted colleagues on this subject and came to the conclusion that it was not necessary to report the manifestations of “hospitality” of friends who did not had no direct connection to the court. There is indeed such an exception for judges, but some attorneys interviewed by ProPublica believe that Thomas interpreted it too broadly and should have flagged Crowe’s services.
