Attorney General
William Barr has warned that liberal billionaire
George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.
In an interview that aired Friday on "
The Story," Barr said that the Hungarian-American activist is likely relying on the routinely low turnout in local primary elections to help his candidates win.
"There's this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas," Barr told Martha MacCallum.
"They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police."
