☆ The return of Wayne LaPierre: in 2nd NY trial, NRA's former 'king' fights for the right to resume some role at gun lobby
  + stars: | 2024-07-12 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
NRA lawyers pointed to his sudden, mid-trial resignation as welcomed proof of a "course correction." New York Attorney General Letitia James wants Wayne LaPierre barred from resuming any financial role at the NRA. The NRA also hasn't ruled out the possibility of paying for LaPierre's continued legal fees, James' lawyers said. Despite leaving these millions of dollars in LaPierre repayments on the table, NRA lawyers are arguing that they are hemorrhaging money. For the NRA, James is asking Cohen to appoint an independent monitor who would audit and oversee the association to ensure donor money is safe.

Thursday was longtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre's first day of retirement after 30 years leading the gun-rights group. Gun control and gun safety advocates say they're not sorry to see LaPierre go.

Advertisement"Just because Wayne is gone does not mean our fight for a country free from gun violence is over." The attorney general's office is expected to rest its case Monday against the NRA, LaPierre, and two other longtime executives at the gun lobby.

NEW YORK (AP) — National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre acknowledged at a civil trial Monday that he wrongly expensed private flights for his family and accepted vacations from vendors doing business with the nonprofit gun rights organization without disclosing them. The New York attorney general sued the 74-year-old CEO and three co-defendants in 2020, claiming widespread misspending and self-enrichment among certain NRA leaders. “I now know there was a limit of $25,” for NRA-sponsored gifts, LaPierre said. “They weren’t gifts; they were work items for me.”LaPierre also acknowledged authorizing private helicopter flights for NRA executives to and from the Texas Motor Speedway during NASCAR events. The attorney general’s office is calling for restitution and financial penalties for NRA officials who improperly profited from the organization's activities.

Read previewLongtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre is too ill to commit to all-day testimony in his ongoing corruption trial in New York, his lawyer said in a court document made public Friday. In the new filing, his lawyer asked the trial judge for a "reasonable accommodation" allowing the nonprofit's leader flexibility in testifying. LaPierre suffers from "significant headaches and joint pain" and has a "family history of dementia," along with "overall cognitive changes and deterioration," the doctor wrote. Since early January, LaPierre "has been undergoing intensive treatment involving multiple medications," LaPierre's lawyer, Kent Correll, wrote to the trial judge in the filing, which requests a flexible testimony schedule.

☆ In a blow to the NRA, judge allows New York's attorney general to seek a court-imposed monitor and demand Wayne LaPierre forfeit millions
  + stars: | 2022-09-30 | by ( Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A court ruling Thursday lets New York's attorney general continue to seek stiff penalties from the NRA. AG Letitia James is suing CEO Wayne LaPierre for millions in back salary; she also wants the NRA subjected to financial monitoring. "It's really just interference with his ability to do his job the way his members want him to do it, in the way his board wants him to do it," LaPierre attorney P. Kent Correll said. "You have the attorney general of a state trying to interfere with the operation of a not-for-profit organization — that happened in the '50s," Correll told the judge. The NRA is attempting to read the law "so narrowly" that no attorney general would ever be able to monitor "how funds are used by an organization such as this," the judge said.
