NABU and the Obama administration were working closely with [[Soros]] [[NGO]] Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC) in Ukraine. AntAC received 59 percent of its $1.7 million budget since 2012 from the U.S. State and Justice Departments, and another $290,000 from Soros’s International Renaissance Foundation.
