Indian Officials Conduct Raids on Soros-Backed Organizations
India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday carried out search operations at eight locations across Bengaluru as part of a probe into alleged foreign exchange violations connected to the Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by American billionaire George Soros, and its impact investment branch, the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF).
Sources speaking to Indian media said the searches were “conducted under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and involve OSF along with several international human rights organizations,” according to a report by The Economic Times.
The inquiry focuses on claims that OSF brought in foreign direct investment (FDI), with allegations that some recipients later misused the funds in ways that breached FEMA regulations.
“Our teams executed raids at eight sites in Bengaluru on Tuesday to examine possible violations of foreign direct investment rules by SEDF and OSF related to investments made in different entities and individuals in India, as well as how those funds were later used,” an unnamed official said, as reported by the Hindustan Times.
Reports indicate that the Soros-backed OSF transferred close to $3 billion to more than a dozen organizations operating across India.
The same official stated that “a preliminary probe found that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) placed OSF under the prior reference category in 2016, which limited its ability to provide unrestricted donations to NGOs within India.”
“Despite these restrictions, OSF allegedly created subsidiaries within India and routed funds through foreign direct investment and consultancy payments. These funds were then used to support activities carried out by NGOs, which constitutes a violation of FEMA rules,” the officer added.
The Times reported that OSF began its activities in India—the world’s largest democracy—in 1999, although the Soros-founded organization reportedly does not maintain a physical office in the country.
In November, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under the Biden administration at the time, accelerated its decision to approve a deal that would allow Democratic megadonor Soros to obtain a significant stake in more than 200 radio stations.
According to Fox News, the decision triggered a review by the House Oversight Committee, which raised concerns about possible “politicization” and the potential influence on the 2024 presidential election.
The FCC’s approval of Soros’ purchase of over 200 Audacy radio stations drew criticism from a Republican commissioner who opposed the move, as well as several GOP lawmakers who viewed the decision as openly partisan.
Fox reported that the FCC “issued an order approving Soros’ acquisition of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election,” a move that could give him the ability to reach as many as 165 million Americans.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Representative Nick Langworthy (R-N.Y.) accused the FCC of speeding up its review of the broadcast licenses while bypassing the agency’s normal procedures.
Audacy Inc., which owns more than 200 radio stations, became the target of Soros’ investment effort when he attempted to acquire $415 million in debt during the company’s Chapter 11 restructuring, Fox reported.
In late February, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr updated Republican lawmakers on the agency’s investigation into Soros and his potential influence over local radio broadcasting. Carr met members of the Republican Study Committee—a caucus of 175 House Republicans—during their annual private luncheon.
A source told Fox News that Carr planned to brief lawmakers about the rapid acquisition of the radio stations. He also reportedly discussed broader approaches to countering left-leaning media outlets.
The Republican congressional investigation into the deal has focused heavily on Soros Fund Management’s role in the purchase. The investment firm holds a significant level of foreign ownership, raising concerns that programming on the stations could allow foreign governments to exert undue influence on American audiences.
“The FCC is not following its typical review process for this transaction,” Carr told lawmakers last fall when discussing the deal.
“For years we have had a clear path for obtaining FCC approval when foreign ownership exceeds 25 percent—which this deal does,” Carr said. “Yet it appears the FCC may be preparing to create an entirely new shortcut for the first time.”

The Epstein Unredacted: Congressman Dan Goldman Exposes Alleged DOJ Cover-Up and Explosive Evidence Linking Trump to Epstein’s Darkest Secrets
In a moment that has frozen the political landscape of Washington D.C., Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to deliver a presentation that may well become a pivot point in American history.
Holding a series of unredacted documents—files that the Department of Justice had previously fought to keep shielded from public view—Goldman laid out a systematic and devastating case against the official narrative surrounding Donald Trump’s involvement with the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein.
His words were not merely an accusation; they were a calculated strike against what he described as a “massive cover-up” designed to protect the former president from the consequences of a decades-long association that was far more intimate and darker than previously admitted.
The core of Goldman’s address focused on a specific, harrowing allegation from an unnamed victim—a testimony that the FBI reportedly found “unquestionably credible.”
According to the unredacted files, this victim, who was between the ages of 13 and 15 at the time, provided a consistent and graphic account of an assault by Donald Trump.
The details disclosed by Goldman were visceral, describing a scene where the victim was left alone with Trump, who allegedly made predatory remarks about “teaching little girls how to be” before the situation turned violent. Goldman revealed that the victim’s account was so compelling that she bit Trump in self-defense, an act of resistance that led to her being cast out of the room with derogatory insults.
What makes this testimony particularly explosive is not just the nature of the allegation, but the fact that it was included in a 21-page PowerPoint presentation created by the FBI for federal prosecutors. Goldman argued that the FBI would never have included such testimony in a briefing for prosecutors if they did not believe the evidence was solid.
This leads to the most serious charge of the day: that Attorney General Pam Bondi lied under oath when she told the House Judiciary Committee that “there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime” in relation to the Epstein files.
Goldman’s presentation systematically dismantled the “total stranger” or “casual acquaintance” defense that has been the hallmark of Trump’s public statements regarding Epstein for twenty-five years.
He pointed to a 2003 birthday card Trump sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday, in which Trump wrote that they had “certain things in common” and referred to Epstein as a “pal,” concluding with the cryptic wish: “may every day be another wonderful secret”. This personal correspondence stands in stark contrast to later claims of distance.
Even more revealing was the account of a phone call Trump allegedly made to the Palm Beach County police chief in 2006, immediately after the investigation into Epstein became public. According to the documents, Trump told the chief, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him—everyone has known he’s been doing this”. Goldman paused to highlight the logical inconsistency: why would an innocent person call a police chief to validate an investigation they supposedly knew nothing about? This “barking dog” evidence, as referenced in an email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell, suggests that Trump’s silence during the investigation was a calculated move to avoid being dragged into the spotlight alongside his “pal”.
The Congressman emphasized that the public is only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Out of the millions of documents generated by the Epstein investigation, the DOJ is still refusing to turn over nearly three million pages to Congress. Goldman questioned why the Attorney General is redacting information
from the public that she is then forced to show to Congress under pressure, and what remains hidden in the millions of pages still behind closed doors.
“If the Attorney General is covering up this information… what else is she covering up about Donald Trump’s involvement?” Goldman asked the chamber, leaving the question hanging over a stunned audience.
This article aims to provide a clear, journalistic overview of the facts as presented by Congressman Goldman. It is a story about the struggle for transparency, the integrity of the Department of Justice, and the long-overdue voices of victims who have waited decades for the truth to be unredacted. As the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” continues to force more documents into the light, the narrative of “wonderful secrets” is being replaced by a ledger of undeniable evidence.
The implications for the American judicial system are profound. If Goldman’s assertions hold true, it indicates a failure of the DOJ to remain impartial and a disturbing willingness to redact the truth in favor of political protection. The “dog that hasn’t barked” has finally started to make noise, and the sound is echoing through the halls of power, demanding an answer that redaction pens can no longer erase.
The public’s right to know has never been more vital. These unredacted files dispute everything previously said about the Trump-Epstein connection, transforming rumors into documented evidence. From the flights on the “Lolita Express”—which Goldman noted Trump took eight times despite his denials—to the hours spent at Epstein’s residences, the map of their shared world is being redrawn with forensic precision. This is not just about the past; it is about the accountability of the present and the future of justice in the United States.
