Billionaire George Soros, a megadonor to liberal causes, spent at least $40 million in support of progressive prosecutor candidates between 2014 and 2021, according to a preliminary report published by Virginia-based Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF).
Progressive prosecutors advocate for criminal justice changes that will cut the population behind bars and direct resources to treatment and rehabilitation programs; they often support putting more effort into investigating and prosecuting law enforcement misconduct.
