A judge has rejected an effort by New York’s attorney general to put the National Rifle Association out of business, but will allow her lawsuit accusing top executives of illegally diverting tens of millions of dollars from the powerful gun advocacy organization to proceed.
FILE - Nation Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre speaks at the association's Institute for Legislative Action Leadership Forum in Indianapolis, April 26, 2019. A judge has rejected an effort by New York Attorney General Letitia James to put the National Rifle Association out of business, but will allow her to proceed with lawsuit accusing LaPierre and top executives of illegally diverting tens of millions of dollars from the NRA.
In addition to recouping money that was allegedly misspent, James is seeking to ban LaPierre and the other executives from serving in the leadership of any not-for-profit or charitable organization conducting business in New York, which would effectively remove them from any involvement with the NRA.NRA President Charles Cotton called Wednesday's ruling a “resounding win for the NRA, its 5 million members, and all who believe in this organization.
Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers for the other defendants: LaPierre; the NRA's general counsel John Frazer; its former treasurer Wilson Phillips; and former chief of staff Joshua Powell.
