The NYT traces the claims that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is “Soros-backed.”  Though you have to get through more than half of the piece before you actually find the connection:

Mr. Soros’s involvement with Mr. Bragg’s election is indirect. In 2021, during a heated Democratic primary, the political arm of the self-described racial justice organization Color of Change pledged $1 million to support Mr. Bragg’s campaign. Shortly afterward, Mr. Soros gave the organization a $1 million gift, one of several donations that he gave to the group totaling about $4 million since 2016. While Mr. Soros declined an interview request, a spokesman for Mr. Soros said that the financier and the Manhattan district attorney had never met, and that no contributions to Color of Change were earmarked for Mr. Bragg when he was a candidate.

Additionally, Color of Change’s political action committee, which must stay independent of political candidates it endorses, did not meet its pledge of support to Mr. Bragg, spending about half of its promised $1 million.
