Outside Lawyer For NRA Denies Contact By FBI On Russia Probe
By Allegra Kirkland | January 25, 2018 6:31 pm
A lawyer representing the NRA has responded to a McClatchy report that the FBI was investigating whether a Russian banker illegally funneled money to the group in an effort to boost Donald Trump in 2016.
“We have not been contacted by the FBI about anything related to Russia,” Steven Hart, an outside lawyer for the NRA, told McClatchy in a statement posted Tuesday evening as an update to McClatchy’s original story, which appeared January 18.
No NRA staff member has yet responded to the original story.
TPM reported earlier Tuesday on the gun group’s silence in the wake of McClatchy’s story. NRA Managing Director of Public Affairs Andrew Arulanandam, who is said to be handling media requests on the issue, did not respond to TPM’s repeated requests for comment.
TPM was not immediately able to contact Hart.

It doesn't matter if they "haven't been contacted" by the FBI. If the FBI is actually investigating them, they might be the last people that get interviewed. Look at what Mueller is doing. Only now is he getting around to interviewing Trump.
