Wayne LaPierre, the longtime head of the National Rifle Association (NRA), has concluded his testimony in the ongoing corruption trial.
LaPierre, who steps down from his role on January 31, has been under investigation for alleged misappropriation of NRA funds.
During his testimony, LaPierre defended his authorization of lavish trips on the NRA's tab, stating that they were intended to raise the organization's reputation and standing.
LaPierre also stated that he was not motivated by financial gain in his role, but was 'in it for the cause and the members.'
LaPierre's resignation is reportedly due to health issues, including Lyme disease and a cognitive decline.
