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.
