A few examples of media coverage about Gordon from more than a year ago:

Gordon is back in the news now because of the arrest of Mariia Butina. But his involvement in the Trump campaign is well-known and was reported on last year. Abramson, a blogger of the same ilk as Louise Mensch and not a journalist, doesn't seem to have access to Google.

I thought I kept up with the whole pile of corruption stories but did not remember about J.D.Morgan.

There was quite a bit of news about him over a year ago. He's in the news again now because of his connection to the recently-arrested Russian agent Mariia Butina. But you can bet the Mueller investigation has the dirt on him - what they know about him is more important than what we know.
