Liberal billionaire and philanthropist George Soros's Foundation to Promote Open Society quietly helped fund a recent trip by House Democrats to meet with left-wing Latin American leaders in several foreign countries, documents show.

Reps. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Greg Casar (D-TX), Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), and Joaquin Castro (D-TX) traveled between Aug. 13 and 21 to Brazil, Colombia, and Chile to hobnob with Chilean President Gabriel Boric, Colombian President Gustavo Petro, and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's advisers "to forge a new diplomatic relationship between the United States and Latin America." The delegation was organized by the liberal think tank Center for Economic and Policy Research and also co-sponsored by FPOC, a private foundation Soros founded in 2008, according to financial disclosures filed by the lawmakers to Congress.
