The National Rifle Association revealed Tuesday it accepts foreign donations but said it does not use them for any election work.
“While we do receive some contributions from foreign individuals and entities, those contributions are made directly to the NRA for lawful purposes,” NRA’s General Counsel John C. Frazer wrote to Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., in a letter obtained by National Public Radio. “Our review of our records has found no foreign donations in connection with a United States election, either directly or through a conduit.”
Frazer said the NRA received money from companies based in the U.S. that could be foreign-owned or managed.

Pressure on the NRA increased when suggestions emerged that the FBI was investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the NRA to aid Trump’s presidential campaign.
