Report: FBI Probes if Russia Funneled Money to NRA for Trump

The FBI is probing whether a prominent Russian banker with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin may have illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association in a bid to help elect Donald Trump, according to a new report from McClatchy. The report, which is based on two anonymous sources, claims that special counsel Robert Mueller is now focusing on the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank, Alexander Torshin. According to McClatchy, the NRA spent $30 million supporting Trump during the 2016 election. In March of last year, The Daily Beast first reported the NRA had met with a Kremlin hardliner in 2015 who was sanctioned 18 months earlier for the invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine. BuzzFeed News reported on Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Kremlin interference in the race has now honed in on “newly uncovered” money transfers made by Russian government officials.
