Abstract

The article focuses on the Donald Trump administration's targeting of the Open Society Foundations and its founder George Soros, portraying the investigations as part of a broader campaign against civil society and philanthropic influence. It argues that these actions reflect a long-standing tension over the role of wealthy donors in politics and public life, and warns that the government's pressure on independent foundations threatens free speech and democratic accountability.
