Former NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Testifies About Personal Spending in Manhattan Trial

LaPierre admits to using NRA funds for personal travel and gifts amid ongoing lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Wayne LaPierre, the former chief of the National Rifle Association (NRA), testified in a Manhattan trial about his extensive personal spending using NRA funds.
LaPierre admitted to using NRA funds for personal travel, including private jet charters, and expensive gifts.
LaPierre's testimony comes as part of a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is seeking financial penalties and to bar the defendants from working for the NRA or any other nonprofit in the state.
LaPierre announced his resignation from the NRA on the eve of the trial, citing health reasons.
The NRA, once one of the most powerful lobbying groups in the U.S., has seen its influence wane amid the ongoing investigation, internal feuding, and a sharp decline in membership.
