Did Russia Use the NRA to Help Trump? FBI Wants to Know.

[pbmus]

The FBI is reportedly investigating if Russian money was funneled to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump during the 2016 election, news that adds to a portrait of Kremlin outreach to the NRA and Trump campaign.

McClatchyDC reported Thursday that the FBI is looking into Alexander Torshin, deputy governor of the Kremlin’s central bank, who hosted a NRA delegation in Moscow in late 2015. Torshin then reportedly met with Donald Trump Jr. at the NRA’s 2016 convention. At the same time, a business partner of Torshin’s former deputy tried to arrange a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the election, Torshin’s former deputy claimed she was part of a Trump-Kremlin connection.

Torshin hosted a NRA delegation led by the group’s former president in Dec. 2015. The NRA delegation also met with Dmitry Rogozin, as The Daily Beast originally reported. Rogozin is the chairman of the Russian Shooting Federation and also a U.S.-sanctioned deputy to Putin.
