Dem Senators Probe Financial Links Between Butina, NRA
Three Senate Democrats on Monday requested documents from the Treasury Department related to financial ties between the National Rifle Association (NRA) and an alleged agent of the Russian government.
Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden (Ore.), Bob Menendez (N.J.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) requested copies of all documents that outline Maria Butina’s connections to the NRA in a Monday letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
Butina, a Russian national and gun-rights activist, was arrested and charged last week with secretly acting to advance the Kremlin’s interests through cultivating connections with powerful groups and individuals close to the Republican Party.
