The son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros made more than a dozen trips to the White House last year as he follows in his father’s footsteps as a prolific Democratic networker.
Alexander Soros, 37, frequently posts shots of himself with Democratic politicians including Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Sen. Chuck Schumer – whom he called a ‘good friend.’
And recently-updated White House logs reveal he has visited at least 14 times since December 2021.
It comes after his father George, 92, has come under repeated fire from Donald Trump over his links to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg who is spearheading the former President’s arrest.
Last year Alexander – who chairs his father’s grant-making network Open Society Foundation – made two trips in April, three in September, four in October and four in December.

Another visit was logged in December 2021.
On December 1 2022, he met with then Chief of Staff Ron Klain’s advisor Nina Srivastava who worked on Biden’s presidential campaign.
The same day he was one of 330 people to attend a state dinner hosted by the President and first lady Jill Biden.
The event was to honor French leader Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte.
The day afterwards he met with both Advisor to the Counselor of President Mariana Adame and Deputy National Security Advisor Jonathan Finer.
The records cement Alexander as his father’s political protegee.
Since 2018, he has pumped around $5.7 million into left-leaning political action committees and Democratic campaign coffers, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
His biggest contribution was $2 million in 2018 to Senate Majority PAC, which is tied to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
His social media profiles are littered with pictures of himself standing next to left-wing politicians.

George made his billions as a hedge fund tycoon in the UK. His Open Society Foundation and related nonprofits have donated more than $42 billion worldwide.
However the Hungarian-American financier has been thrown into the spotlight in recent weeks as he became embroiled in the fall-out surrounding Trump’s arrest.
Trump frequently accuses George of funding Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and suggesting he is to blame for the case that centers around a $130,000 hush money payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels.
George donated $1 million in 2021 to the left-leaning Color of Change political action committee that backed Bragg.
On April 2, the Trump campaign wrote: ‘Leftist Democrat District Attorney Alvin Bragg concocted a sham indictment of President Donald J. Trump. It is an unprecedented political persecution of the 45th President of the United States and a blatant attempt to interfere in the 2024 election.
It added that ‘the American people and Republican primary voters, in particular, are outraged by the weaponization of our justice system by George Soros’ hand-picked and funded Manhattan DA against a completely innocent person and the leading Republican candidate for president.’
But George vehemently hit back at the accusations as he claimed he had no connection to Bragg.

His spokesman Michael Vachon said: ‘George Soros has never met, spoken with, or otherwise communicated with Alvin Bragg.
‘Neither George Soros nor Democracy PAC (a PAC to which Mr. Soros has contributed funds) contributed to Alvin Bragg’s campaign for Manhattan District Attorney.’
The billionaire himself says he doesn’t know Bragg and never directly funded his campaign.
‘I did not contribute to his campaign and I don’t know him,’ George told Semafor.
‘I think some on the right would rather focus on far-fetched conspiracy theories than on the serious charges against the former president.’
