New York Jury Finds Ex-NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Used Group’s Money to Fund Lavish Lifestyle

HeadlineFeb 26, 2024

A New York jury on Friday found former National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre had mismanaged the group’s funds, diverting $5.4 million for personal benefit. LaPierre must repay over $4 million; he already paid back around $1 million. New York Attorney General Letitia James brought the case against LaPierre, accusing him of using NRA money to fund luxury trips, expensive clothing and insider contracts. The jury also found two other top NRA executives acted inappropriately.
