Former NRA leader Wayne LaPierre gets 10-year ban from serving in NRA and affiliates
SUMMARY
A New York judge has banned former NRA leader Wayne LaPierre from serving in any capacity within the NRA or its affiliates for 10 years due to 'financial mismanagement'. Attorney General Letitia James claims that the NRA and its senior leaders illegally funneled millions for personal use, including cash, lavish perks, private jets, family vacations, and luxury goods. After a jury found LaPierre and the NRA liable, LaPierre was ordered to pay $4.35 million in damages, having already repaid over $1 million. The NRA was found to lack accountability and engage in self-dealing. The judge gave the NRA and the New York Attorney General’s office one week to discuss potential reforms. This lawsuit was filed in 2020 after a three-year investigation into to allegations of corruption.
