"Repetition is the key to a successful message and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country!" Soros said. 

The Soros family has bankrolled campaigns of prosecutors across the country blamed for being lax on crime. 

Fox News previously reported that George Soros gave Color of Change PAC $1 million in 2021, which spent a significant sum in support of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's candidacy. 

Fox News Digital reviewed campaign finance records that showed his son and daughter-in-law Jonathan and Jennifer Allan Soros donated directly to the then-candidate's campaign.

Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, who the former president allegedly had an affair with. 

"I did my job. Our job is to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor. And that's exactly what we did here," Bragg told reporters following the guilty verdict being reached on Thursday.

Republicans overwhelmingly took issue with the verdict, slamming the trial as politicized. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio demanded on Friday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo testify next month at a hearing on "the unprecedented political prosecution of President Trump."
