The records obtained by Judicial Watch through our ongoing FOIA litigation also detail how the Soros operation also actually helped the State Department review grant applications from other groups asking for taxpayer funding too. (2/11)

The new docs further show USAID taxpayer funds were funneled through its Civil Society Project to back Soros’s left-wing Open Society Foundations in Albania, like the Soros operation effort to give the socialist govt more control of the judiciary. (3/11)

Also worth noting is the fact that the U.S. Agency for International Development reportedly gave $9 million in 2016 to the “Justice for All” campaign, which is overseen by George Soros’s “East West Management Institute.” (4/11)

Records from 2016 & 2017 show that the State Department used taxpayer funds to “sponsor” polls along with the Open Society Foundation on “judicial reforms” that would essentially solidify the left’s control of the Albanian government. (5/11)

Records show the State Dept also gave the Soros org input on its own funding in Albania. A 2017 doc on “Engagement with the Open Society Foundation” notes the org is asked to “participate in technical reviews of applications we receive for funding.” (6/11)

Also worth recalling is U.S. Ambassador to Albania Donald Lu (an Obama holdover) has been linked to Soros & the socialist govt in Albania. In May 2017, Lu helped undermine Albanian opposition party plans to protest upcoming parliamentary elections. (7/11)
