US President Donald Trump's accusations against billionaire George Soros and his son are "outrageous and false", the Open Society Foundations said on Wednesday.

Trump said on Truth Social that Soros and his son Alex should face criminal charges over unfounded claims that their family, a favorite target of the right, is behind "violent protests" around the country.

"These accusations are outrageous and false. The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests," a spokesperson for the foundations, the philanthropic empire established by Soros, said in a statement to AFP.
