Soros-Backed DA Bragg Fundraises with Group Targeting Trump

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who led the prosecution of former President Donald Trump, attended a fundraiser for a group that fought to keep Trump off the ballot.
Bragg, who was pictured alongside film director Spike Lee, attended the main fundraiser for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) in May 2023. The LDF has been on the front lines of legal efforts to keep Americans from being able to hear from, and vote for, Trump.
Bragg's attendance at the fundraiser will likely only fuel allegations that Trump was targeted only because he's the Republican nominee for president. The George Soros-backed district attorney's prosecution of Trump was in keeping with the aggressive rhetoric of the legal group, which is also supported by the Soros family.
Jonathan Soros, the son of George Soros, who has spent heavily on district attorney races including Bragg's, is on the board of the group. Matthew Colangelo, who left a top role in Joe Biden's Department of Justice to work for Bragg on the Trump case, is also connected to the group through his wife, Anne Small, who is listed as a top sponsor at the event.
The LDF has used extreme tactics to keep Americans from being able to hear from, and vote for, Trump. When Colorado sought to simply take Trump off the ballot, the fund filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the move, saying Trump had "engaged in an insurrection."
When every member of the Supreme Court, including its most liberal justices, said that this was unconstitutional, the group's president, Janai Nelson, called it a "disturbing and dangerous pattern of judicial overreach" that threatened "our multi-racial, multi-ethnic democracy."
The LDF also blasted Facebook for allowing Trump on the platform by saying the company was not legally "compelled" to reinstate him and saying being able to hear from a former president "endangers" the public. It called allowing Trump on the platform a "reckless, unjustifiable, and irresponsible decision."
Bragg claimed that Trump violated federal campaign finance law by not filing a report with the Federal Election Commission saying he paid a porn star to keep silent about an affair, arguing that the move was campaign-related. That's despite there being no precedent for campaign finance law being interpreted in this way, the federal government declining to charge Trump for it, and Bragg having no authority to charge federal crimes.
The law-and-order approach to President Trump — whose alleged crimes had no identifiable victim — is in marked contrast to the usual philosophies of Bragg and the NAACP, which typically view the harsh enforcement of law and order as racist against blacks.
In May, the NAACP LDF issued a "Statement Honoring George Floyd," a violent felon who served only a short prison stint for robbing a pregnant woman at gunpoint. It used Floyd's death to propose replacing police with a "Corps of Unarmed Civilian Responders," and criminal punishment with "Restorative Justice Programs."
Bragg's prosecution of Trump failed to separate itself from politics in the eye of the public. A recent poll found that 47 percent of Americans think the charges against Trump were politically motivated, compared to just 38 percent who say they were not.
