Senate Democrats Accuse NRA of Becoming Russian Asset

A report released Friday by Senate Democrats alleges that top National Rifle Association (NRA) officials knew of ties to Russian nationals, who are then accused of using the NRA to gain access to the American political system. The report suggests that the NRA may have fostered Russian interference in the 2016 election and violated tax laws. Media sources from the left have reported the story as another example of Russian interference in the 2016 election, apparently aided by a right-leaning interest group. As of Friday afternoon, most right-leaning media sources have not reported the story.
