A son of left-wing billionaire and philanthropist George Soros has scored several recent visits to President Joe Biden's White House as he showers Democrats with campaign donations and promotes his meetings with top lawmakers, records show.
Alexander Soros, chairman of the Open Society Foundations grantmaking network that his father founded in 1993 to influence left-leaning politics and culture matters, has increasingly posted images on social media of himself with Democratic lawmakers whose campaigns he has bankrolled.
Between October 2021 and December 2022, Alexander Soros was listed in White House visitor logs a total of 15 times. Officials he is listed as having visited include former White House chief of staff Ron Klain's former adviser Madeline Strasser, Klain adviser Nina Srivastava, National Security Council staff assistant Hazel Castillo, counselor Steve Ricchetti's adviser Mariana Adame, ex-national security adviser Kimberly Lang, and deputy national security adviser Jonathan Finer.
President Donald Trump came under fire in 2017 after his administration announced it would not publicize visitor logs until five years after he left office because of"grave national security risks and privacy concerns." Since 2018, the younger Soros has met Schumer at least nine times and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at least eight times, according to his Instagram account. He's contributed more than $130,000 combined to Pelosi's campaign and a super PAC victory fund associated with Pelosi that aims to elect Democrats, FEC records show.
