Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros and his family members have poured more than $71,000 into stateAttorney General Letitia James’ campaign coffers since 2019 — including $31,000 to help the longtime adversary of President Trump get re-elected next year.
The contributions include $18,000 from Soros in July 2024 and another $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, in May, records show. Soros and his clan also gave James another $40,000 dating back to 2019 for previous campaigns.
And the windfall doesn’t even include indirect support James receives through far-left organizations Soros helps bankroll, including millions to the Working Families Party.
Soros’ ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has doled out $23.7 million to the WFP since 2016 through its fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc., and he and his family members showered the New York branch with another $865,000 in direct donations since 2018, records show.
James’ relationship with the WFP is all but unprecedented in New York.
In 2003, she became the first Working Families Party candidate to win a race in the state when she was elected to a Council seat representing Fort Greene and other parts of Brooklyn.
James declined the WFP line for her successful 2018 run for Attorney General in a strategic move that saw her instead run as a Democrat under a ticket with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
But she has continued to embrace the party’s progressive values and picked up its endorsement in her 2022 re-election campaign.
“George Soros has spent years financing the radical left’s most extreme projects, and the outcome is almost always the same: instability and disorder that is destroying our state,” said Michael Henry, a commercial litigator and Republican running to unseat James in 2026.
“We saw it with [Manhattan District Attorney] Alvin Bragg, so no one should be surprised that [Soros] is heavily backing Letitia James’ ideological crusades and political vendettas that put New Yorkers’ safety on the back burner. “When the same donor who funds chaos underwrites New York’s top law enforcement office, the results speak for themselves,” he added.
James has garnered national attention by pursuing a slew of lawsuits against the Trump administration and the president personally — including making good on a 2018 campaign pledge to investigate Trump’s real estate dealings.
James’ case alleging the real estate tycoon-turned-president engaged in fraud by exaggerating his net worth for decades is ongoing, but Trump scored a huge victory in August when a state appellate panel threw out the more than $500 million fines he was slapped with as part of the proceedings.
James has had her own share of legal troubles with Trump’s Department of Justice as she was indicted in October on mortgage fraud charges related to a property she owns in Virginia.
James pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed in November without going to trial. Since then, multiple attempts by the DOJ to re-indict her have failed.
The president has repeatedly accused Soros of being behind the legal challenges brought against him by James, Bragg and other far-left prosecutors.
The White House did not return messages.
Soros indirectly helped the soft-on-crime Bragg’s successful 2021 DA campaign by donating $1 million to advocacy group Color of Change’s political action committee, which in turn spent more than $500,000 on mailers, ads and field operations boosting Bragg.
Soros and his family members have also donated $43,150 to Bragg directly since 2021 — including $22,500 since June, records show.
Michael Vachon, a Soros spokesman, refused to address the donations.
The attorney general’s office did not return messages, and James’ campaign spokesperson could not be reached for comment.
