Democrats argue that these claims are rooted in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Soros and his supposed control over the investigation. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context:<\/strong> Soros is the largest donor to the left-wing group Color of Change PAC, which was Bragg&#8217;s biggest campaign contributor. The group pledged to spend $1 million to support Bragg&#8217;s campaign, and Soros donated $1 million to them days after they endorsed Bragg. Other committees funded by Soros have also contributed millions to Color of Change PAC. While Soros denies directly contributing to Bragg&#8217;s campaign, his donations almost certainly flowed to the prosecutor through Color of Change PAC.<\/p>\n<p>Color of Change has praised Bragg&#8217;s decision to indict Trump for alleged hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, and both the group and Soros are happy with the outcome despite allegations of Soros&#8217; influence.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/tik-tok-beacon-ads?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=fbads&#038;utm_campaign=bantiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/tik-tok-beacon-ads?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=fbads&#038;utm_campaign=bantiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Analysis:<\/strong> While Soros denies directly contributing to Bragg&#8217;s campaign, his donations to Color of Change PAC and other committees almost certainly contributed to Bragg&#8217;s election war chest.
