New York AG seeks to dissolve NRA in lawsuit accusing leaders of self-dealing, causing $64 million in losses
New York Attorney General Letitia James was set to announce Thursday that the state is seeking to dissolve the National Rifle Association in a lawsuit that accuses the leadership of the flagging nonprofit of diverting millions of dollars for their own personal use.
According to the lawsuit, the senior leadership of the NRA squandered millions in donations on personal trips, private jets and expensive meals. The failure to lawfully manage the organizations funds contributed to losses of $64 million over three years, the suit says.
James is asking the court to dissolve the NRA and require each of the current and former executives named in the suit to pay full restitution. The suit argues that the four executives, including CEO Wayne LaPierre, shouldnt be permitted to ever again serve on the board of a New York charity.
The suit continues a long-running battle between the state and the gun-rights group, which has been chartered in New York since 1871. James, who is a Democrat, threatened to investigate the NRAs nonprofit status during her campaign for attorney general and likened the group in 2018 to a terrorist organization.

Old Wayne and the BOD are idiots.
I support the NRA, and have for years, but the current crop of leaders are pretty bad.
I tore up my NRA card years ago when those NRA swamp rats endorsed every single incumbent Democrat in New Mexico.....
I wrote the NRA a letter, asking them, why do they think Democrats support the 2nd amendment, when they don’t even believe in the Constitution?????
Just like the democrats, eh?
Do as I say, not as I do.
Is she filing charges against cuomo for traveling to an off limit state, not wearing a mask while there, and then refusing to quarantine for 14 upon return to NY?
Then I don't want to hear from her.
What about deblasio's wife?
Ditto that.
Tammy Fay and Jim Baker? Gold plated bathtub fixtures? Big church. Went to jail.
Ollie had a hell of a clash with LaPierre. The guy probably got too big for his britches.
agreed
It REALLY helped when Lois Lerner (remember her?) was in charge of the department of the IRS that manages these non-profit organizations. That is why old Lois “skated” when she should have been in BIG trouble for what she was doing to tamp down conservative/tea party groups (& siccing other agencies on them to boot).
The “new” workplace is also allowing people to work from home - permanently.
Both my son and daughter have this option - meaning they can work from anywhere.
People who work for the tech companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter are leaving the San Francisco area in droves - they can live somewhere else a whole lot cheaper (and cleaner) - and the quality of life is far better. Heard one guy on the radio who said he was paying $3,000/month for a studio apt. in San Francisco in a sketchy neighborhood. He was thrilled that he could now work anywhere, could live in Idaho a lot cheaper and save a lot of money.
I do believe that Wayne LaPierre has been in his position for far too long.
