N.R.A. Connections
The claims by Alexander Torshin, a former Russian Senator and the Deputy Governor of Russia’s central bank didn’t go unnoticed.
He said that he had connections to Trump through the N.R.A. This was based on a tweet he made back in 2015.
Torshin tweeted that “I know D. Trump (through NRA). A decent person,”
He also tweeted “I was there at Obama’s last election! The NRA card, to me as an observer from Russia, opened access to any [polling] station.”
Democrat Adam Schiff thought such a matter was worth looking into.
“I can’t go into what we’ve been able to learn thus far on that issue. I can tell you it’s one of deep concern to me and to other members of the committee, that we get to the bottom of these allegations that the Russians may have sought to funnel money through the NRA,” Schiff said. “It would be negligent of us not to investigate.”
