NEWS on MARIA BUTINA: The Russian agent said in a talk five years ago that she had a "signed cooperation agreement" with the National Rifle Association motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Several people who attended Butina’s 2013 talk in Israel confirmed to @Motherjones and @TeamTrace that they remembered the Russian agent highlighting her connections with the NRA (though not specifically her alleged formal agreement) motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
My colleagues @mikespiesnyc @uri_blau and I obtained the slides Butina used for her 2013 talk in Israel, which don’t mention the NRA by name but refer to “signed cooperation agreements” with foreign groups motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Regarding this cooperation agreement Butina said she had with the NRA, we got this rather interesting response from an NRA spokesperson: “The NRA says it is not aware of any such agreement.” 🤔 motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
