The New York Attorney commented on Wayne LaPierre being found liable in a civil corruption trial.
A New York jury on Friday found the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its former CEO, Wayne LaPierre, liable in a civil corruption trial.
The jury determined LaPierre misspent millions of dollars of NRA money, which he allegedly used on expensive vacations and for traveling on yachts and private planes. The jury also found the NRA failed to properly manage its assets, as well as misrepresented information in tax filings and violated whistleblower protections.
The case came after New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the gun rights group in 2020, accusing LaPierre and other executives of breaking state laws for financial gain. She originally sought to have the NRA dissolved, but a Manhattan judge ruled against the move in 2022.
The jury found LaPierre—who announced his resignation from the NRA days before the trial began in January—must repay the NRA almost $4.
