Trump administration targets radical leftist NGOs: Calls for RICO investigation intensify
09/13/2025 // Kevin Hughes //
President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers are intensifying their demands for a comprehensive RICO investigation into the funding and influence of radical leftist NGOs, following the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk.
The investigation aims to scrutinize the activities of billionaire George Soros and his affiliated organizations, accusing them of orchestrating chaos and division through a complex web of "dark money" that funds protests, legal challenges and policy influence.
The use of the RICO Act in this context is controversial, with proponents arguing it is necessary to combat "civil terrorism" and critics warning it could stifle free speech and legitimate activism. The Act allows for prosecution of groups engaged in a pattern of illegal activity, carrying severe penalties.
Republican lawmakers, led by Rep. Chip Roy, are pushing for a select committee with subpoena powers to "follow the money" and uncover the forces behind the radical left's actions. This reflects a broader concern about the influence of money in politics and potential foreign interference.
The debate highlights the challenge of protecting free speech while ensuring accountability for those who may exploit it for harmful purposes. The outcome could significantly impact the future of activism, philanthropy and political discourse in the United States.
