President Donald Trump is considering launching a federal racketeering investigation into George Soros and members of his family, suggesting on Friday that they may be responsible for funding protests that he claims amount to “real agitation,” not free expression.
The president said in an interview on Fox News that he believes there may be grounds for invoking the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act against Soros and affiliated networks following an incident earlier this week in which protesters came within feet of Trump at a Washington, D.C., restaurant.
