Foreign Nationals

Contributions and donations may not be solicited,14 accepted, or received from, or made directly or indirectly by, foreign nationals who do not have permanent residence in the United States (i.e., those without green cards). This prohibition encompasses all US elections; including federal, state and local elections. 11 CFR 110.20(b).

What Russia provided falls under an In-kind contribution. This is considered an illegal contribution as it pertains to a foreign government.

I don't see where that says that.  Again, this is about financing elections.  It is a law about financing elections.
