A National Rifle Association leader-turned-critic is meeting with New York investigators...and the NRA wants to be there.
The powerful gun lobby asked a New York state judge Friday to let it in the meeting, saying it would be “severely prejudiced” if privileged information is divulged.
NRA lawyers said they reviewed 899 pages of documents from North’s lawyers that were prepared for investigators and found several dozen examples of privileged information that had not been redacted.
The NRA is facing several legal battles. The attorney general of Washington, D.C., has subpoenaed the group and its related charitable organization in a probe into financial misconduct allegations. The U.S. Senate Finance Committee also has launched an investigation into the NRA’s operations.
North was forced out as the NRA’s president in the spring just ahead of the group’s annual meeting.
The NRA later sued North, trying to block his effort to be reimbursed for legal expenses related to investigations and lawsuits involving the NRA.
NRA critics have questioned the group’s spending, citing hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by its CEO on clothing and private jet travel and tens of millions of dollars spent over decades with an Oklahoma-based marketing firm behind some of its most powerful messages. It has since ended that relationship and the marketing firm and NRA have sued each other.
The NRA is chartered out of New York, while the NRA Foundation is chartered out of Washington.

The 2nd amendment foundation and the 2 Larrys are definitely more bang for the buck.
Wake me when Wayne resigns.
I wouldn’t trust Ollie to do anything. He is a deep state actor, running drugs for arms. He is a very good liar though.
The NRA would do well to spit in one hand and wish in the other and note which one fills up first.
Its funny that the left has tried for years to destroy the NRA but it is the NRA that will destroy itself. This is how the left wins.
I canceled my membership years ago. Knowing how much it costs to print the glossy, multicolored images on their correspondance I decided they had enough money and wouldn’t miss mine. Plus their lack of combating gun control here in California led me to support local orgs instead. Hut Wayne needs to retire, been their long enough to engage in questionable behavior.
