The FBI is reportedly looking into whether a top Russian banker illegally gave money to the National Rifle Association (NRA) in an effort to help President Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Two sources familiar with the matter told McClatchy that FBI counterintelligence investigators are looking into Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank.
According to the news service, it is not clear how long FBI investigators have been looking into the activities of Torshin, who is known for his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA.
During the 2016 presidential election, the NRA spent $30 million to support Trump and Trump was a frequent advocate for the Second Amendment.

Obviously the Russians wanted Trump elected. Not surprised if Russian money was filtered to the campaign somehow as well.
