NRA and Wayne LaPierre Face Jury Deliberation in Corruption Trial

The trial examines allegations of fund misuse for personal gain by top executives, with potential repercussions for the organization's future.

  • Jury deliberations begin in the civil corruption trial against the NRA and its former CEO, Wayne LaPierre, focusing on misuse of funds for personal luxuries.
  • The trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses LaPierre and other executives of diverting millions from the NRA's charitable mission.
  • LaPierre, who resigned citing health issues, defended his actions as necessary for the NRA's outreach and safety, despite admitting to some wrongful expenses.
  • The lawsuit seeks to have the defendants repay the NRA and potentially face bans from serving on charity boards in New York.
  • The outcome could significantly impact the NRA, which has seen declining membership and influence in recent years.
