Trump Planning IRS Overhaul to Enable Pursuit of Left-Wing Groups and Donors, Including Soros Empire

The Donald Trump administration is going to be revamping the IRS to allow them to target the far-left megadonors that have launched war on the American public - and all eyes are on the George and Alex Soros empire.  

Alex was made the chairman of the board of directors of the Open Society Foundations in December 2022, and has headed the organization his father founded since June 2023. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who is also the Interim IRS Commissioner, appointed Gary Shapley to make a list of candidates to face criminal inquiries - a list that includes George Soros. 

As the Wall Street Journal reported:

The undertaking aims to install allies of President Trump at the IRS criminal-investigative division, or IRS-CI, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations.

The effort within the IRS coincides with a larger administration effort to probe left-leaning groups for helping to finance organizations that the president says are creating anarchy in Democratic-led cities. Trump has directed Bessent, who is also acting IRS commissioner, to identify financial networks that the president says are fomenting political violence. 

Shapley and a Treasury Department spokesperson didn’t answer questions about changes to the IRS criminal unit, or desired targets. “I’m grateful to continue in my role in reforming the IRS,” Shapley said.

Last month Trump floated launching a federal racketeering investigation into George Soros and members of his family. 

The OSF has denied funding violent protests, and Alex recently cited a Capital Research Center report to claim that it found no evidence that OSF donations were used to commit acts of violence. 

But the Capital Research Center says otherwise. The group’s Ryan Mauro found that the OSF has awarded “at least $23,275,000 to seven groups that allegedly ‘directly assist domestic terrorism and criminality on U.S. soil’; at least $50.57 million across 41 groups that have allegedly endorsed terrorist attacks and/or are directly linked to foreign terrorist groups or their known front groups; and nearly $10 million to five nonprofits that allegedly qualify as associates of terrorist groups or pro-terrorist groups.”
