Open Society Foundations will not change any of its programming in the United States despite heightened scrutiny from the Trump administration and federal plans to investigate progressive nonprofits, OSF President Binaifer Nowrojee told Devex.
U.S. President Donald Trump has in recent months stepped up attacks on organizations he views as left-leaning, including OSF, which is backed by billionaire George Soros. The administration has vowed to use the Justice Department and the Internal Revenue Service to investigate alleged wrongdoing by progressive groups.
So far, OSF has received an inquiry from Congress, and not the Justice Department or IRS, Nowrojee said, adding that OSF would go to court to defend its constitutional rights.
