Illegal Coordination Found Between the NRA and Trump

Mother Jones finds evidence which suggests that the National Rifle Association and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign may have illegally coordinated campaign ad spending.

“The two purchases may have looked coincidental; Red Eagle and AMAG appear at first glance to be separate firms. But each is closely connected to a major conservative media-consulting firm called National Media Research, Planning and Placement. In fact, the three outfits are so intertwined that both the NRA’s and the Trump campaign’s ad buys were authorized by the same person: National Media’s chief financial officer, Jon Ferrell.”
