Expert calls NRA's spending policies a 'dumpster fire' as gun group's civil trial begins a new phase
NEW YORK (AP) — The second phase of the trial in a civil lawsuit against the National Rifle Association began Monday in Manhattan, with New York Attorney General Letitia James seeking an independent monitor to oversee the powerful gun rights group’s finances. In addition, the Democrat wants Wayne LaPierre, the organization’s former CEO, banned from returning to the NRA. She is also asking for other restrictions on John Frazer, the NRA’s corporate secretary and former general counsel. James had previously asked that LaPierre be banned from holding leadership positions or collecting funds for charitable organizations conducting business in New York, but that is no longer the case. In the trial’s first phase, a jury in February found LaPierre misspent millions of dollars of NRA money to fund an extravagant lifestyle that included exotic getaways and trips on private planes and superyachts. Jurors also found the NRA failed to properly manage its assets, omitted or misrepresented information in its tax filings and violated whistleblower protections under New York law.
