George Soros Spent $10.37 Million Lobbying During Second Quarter

Liberal billionaire George Soros's nonprofit spent more on lobbying during the second quarter of 2018 than he has in any previous quarter, disclosure forms show.

The Open Society Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(4) nonprofit that deals with domestic and international advocacy efforts that is a separate entity from Soros's Open Society Foundations, reported spending $10.37 million between April 1 and June 30-an increase of nearly $8 million from the first quarter of the year when the center reported spending $2.52 million on its lobbying efforts.

The $10.37 million Soros's Open Society Policy Center put towards lobbying during the second quarter of this year is slightly more than its previous high of $10.3 million from the fourth quarter of last year, which runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31.

Soros's lobbying arm spent more during Trump's first year in office than it had any previous year.

Soros's lobbying budget shot up to $11 million in 2013.

The most Soros had spent prior to last was $12.4 million in 2014.

Soros has spent $12.89 million during the first half of 2018, which could ultimately end up as another record year for the financier's lobbying activities.
