A bombshell investigation is now targeting billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation amid allegations the philanthropy funneled millions to groups tied to terrorism.
Conservative watchdog Capital Research Center claims Soros’s foundation, now run by his son Alexander, has directed at least $80 million since 2016 to organizations the federal government has flagged for violent activity or extremist affiliations.
According to the report, $23 million went to seven U.S.-based groups the FBI has connected to domestic terrorism, including acts of property destruction, sabotage, and economic disruption.
Among them, the Center for Third World Organizing has worked with the Ruckus Society, which reportedly trained members in destructive tactics during the George Floyd riots of 2020.
The Sunrise Movement also received funding and has endorsed an Antifa-led campaign called “Stop Cop City,” resulting in over 40 activists facing terrorism-related charges and more than 60 federal racketeering indictments, per Trending Politics.
Another $18 million allegedly went to the Movement for Black Lives, which co-authored a piece celebrating Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of 1,400 Israeli nationals and provided activist training on blockades, false IDs, and protest tactics.
Internationally, the foundation reportedly sent $2.3 million to Al-Haq, a West Bank NGO linked to the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.- and EU-designated terrorist organization.
The U.S. government sanctioned the PFLP in September 2025 for supporting entities targeting Israel.
The CRC identified 54 organizations it says either directly assisted domestic terrorism, were tied to foreign terrorist groups, or materially supported pro-terror causes. “This investigation documents how Open Society’s philanthropy blurs into complicity—fueling groups that celebrate violent uprisings, train militants, and endorse terrorist movements,” the report said.
President Donald Trump has vowed to escalate federal scrutiny.
“We’re going to look into Soros because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people,” Trump told Fox News, signaling a potentially historic crackdown.
The Open Society Foundations has previously rejected such claims, stating it “does not support or fund violent protests” and dismissing threats of prosecution as “outrageous.”
“The evidence is stark,” the CRC concluded. “Open Society has financed groups that glorify violence, destabilize societies, and partner with organizations that are openly hostile to the United States and its allies.”
As the investigation unfolds, Soros faces questions over whether his foundation can maintain tax-exempt status while allegedly bankrolling organizations tied to criminal and terrorist activity. Congressional leaders, federal investigators, and the IRS are all now reportedly reviewing the findings.
The story continues to develop as federal authorities weigh their next steps, with potential RICO charges placing one of the world’s most prominent left-wing philanthropists under unprecedented legal scrutiny.
