NRA acknowledges accepting more than 20 Russia-linked contributions since 2016 campaign

The National Rifle Association is once again backtracking on the number of Russia-linked contributions it has accepted since the 2016 campaign.

The powerful gun lobby acknowledged Wednesday that it has accepted payments from "about" 23 Russia-linked individuals since 2015, sharply diverging from its previous assessments.

The NRA said last month that it had only received a single donation from a Russia-linked individual since 2012. The reason for the discrepancy was not immediately clear, and representatives for the gun group did not return requests for comment from the Daily News.

Majority of U.S. voters prefer anti-gun protesters over NRA: poll

The NRA has come under scrutiny since it was revealed earlier this year that the FBI is looking into whether Russian operatives pumped money into the gun group's coffers in an effort to boost President Trump's 2016 campaign.

All well-meaning, Amerian Christians MUST leave the NRA immediately and repudiate this organization. I said it before, there was NRA, TRUMP AND RUSSIA connection. Dirty Hands, Dirty Money! Need I say more? CM
