NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre Admits to Wrongful Expenses in Court

LaPierre, stepping down this week, claims to have reimbursed the NRA for inappropriate gifts and expenses.

Wayne LaPierre, the outgoing CEO of the National Rifle Association (NRA), admitted in court that he wrongly expensed private flights for his family and accepted vacations from vendors without disclosure.
LaPierre acknowledged authorizing private helicopter flights for NRA executives to avoid traffic during NASCAR events, as part of a larger effort to build relationships with cultural institutions.
He also admitted to receiving $274,000 in tailored suits from a media contractor working with the NRA, which he claimed were necessary for TV interviews.
LaPierre claimed that he had reimbursed the NRA for inappropriate gifts and other expenses, although it's unclear which types of spending he is referring to.
LaPierre is stepping down from his role at the NRA this week, ending a decades-long tenure during which he became one of the most influential figures in shaping U.S. gun policy.
