The National Rifle Association was a "foreign
asset" for Russia during the 2016 presidential election and the
gun-rights group underwrote political access for convicted spy Maria
Butina and others despite knowing their Kremlin ties, according to the Senate Democrats last Friday. An 18-month probe found that Butina and Alexander Torshin, a former
Russian banker now sanctioned by the U.S. government, worked to bring
top NRA officials to the Kremlin in 2015 and dangled a possible meeting
with President Vladimir Putin.
