Washington: Deep state member George Soros and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be awarded United State's highest civilian honour in a ceremony which will be conducted in the White House today. Among the recipients, George Soros is a controversial figure and is infamous for interfering in other nations internal affairs. Deep state member and Democratic philanthropist Soros has been accused of partnering with some opposition parties and leaders to create unrest in India by funding mass protests. The BJP had recently accused Soros of having links with LoP Rahul Gandhi who are together working to interfere in India's internal matters. Soros is also known for destabilising elected governments in other countries as well, to serve the agenda of deep state. Apart from Soros and Clinton, actor-director Denzel Washington will also be honoured in the White House ceremony.
