The National Rifle Association (NRA) defense that it is not a focus of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign does not hold water, McClatchy reported on Monday.

The NRA has claimed that they have yet to hear from the FBI about the investigation.

McClatchy’s legal experts say that is because Mueller’s investigators did not need the NRA’s cooperation to identify any potential Russian funding of the group’s record financial backing of the Trump campaign.

It is illegal to spend foreign money to influence an American election.

The Federal Election Commission does not require that the NRA disclose the source of it’s “dark money” contributors, but the group was required to provide that information to the Internal Revenue Service.
