I have some information as well about the Obama administration — which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I’m not prepared to disclose it now — about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his.

—Alan Dershowitz, in an interview with Breitbart which aired on SiriusXM, came out swinging in defense of President Trump’s influence over the Department of Justice. He also said, “We’ve seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department. The difference: This president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it.”
Soros has long been a magnet for right-wing conspiracy theories. As the Anti-Defamation League said in December about other claims made about Soros, “In far-right circles worldwide, Soros’ philanthropy often is recast as fodder for outsized conspiracy theories, including claims that he masterminds specific global plots or manipulates particular events to further his goals.”
