Trump demands RICO charges against George Soros
President Trump publicly demanded the DOJ bring RICO charges against billionaire George Soros, citing Soros's philanthropic funding of progressive causes. Legal experts called the demand politically motivated, noting that donating to legal advocacy organizations does not constitute racketeering. The episode continued a pattern of the administration attempting to use the DOJ as a weapon against political opponents and donors.
