Soros Demands Fox News Ban "Ludicrous" Trump Ally Joe DiGenova

The president of George Soros' Open Society Foundations demanded that Fox News ban former federal prosecutor and Trump ally Joe diGenova for claiming that the Hungarian-American billionaire "Controls a very large part of the career foreign service of the United States State Department."

Notably, former State Department official George Kent, recommended in April 2016 that Ukraine stop investigating a Soros-funded entity in Ukraine, AntAC. "The investigation into the Anti-Corruption Action Center, based on the assistance they have received from us, is similarly misplaced," wrote Kent.

DiGenova, an attorney for Solomon, may be included in a batch of communications that a federal judge ordered the State Department to hand over regarding Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani's communications with top department officials.

The State Department is agreeing to search for records related to external communications between Giuliani, his associates Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova and Secretary of State , according to the status report released Wednesday.

The report says that "To the extent responsive records exist" the State Department will "Process and produce" the documents "With appropriate redactions" by Nov. 22.

The department has also agreed to process communications between Giuliani and some of Pompeo's advisers, including including State Department counselor Ulrich Brechbuhl and former senior adviser Michael McKinley.

The State Department search for records will include a review of emails, text messages, calendar entries and messaging platforms - as well as any correspondence regarding Giuliani, Toensing or diGenova's plans to travel to Ukraine or encourage the country's government to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter, who have been accused of corruption.
