New York Attorney General Letitia James did not mince words after securing a landmark courtroom victory over the National Rifle Association (NRA) and three current and former senior leaders.

“This verdict is a major victory for the people of New York and our efforts to stop the corruption and greed at the NRA,” James said after the verdict. “For years, Wayne LaPierre used charitable dollars to fund his lavish lifestyle, spending millions on luxury travel, expensive clothes, insider contracts, and other perks for himself and his family. LaPierre and senior leaders at the NRA blatantly abused their positions and broke the law.”

The conservative pro-gun organization was found liable for improperly administering charitable funds, for ignoring whistleblower complaints, and for making false statements on regulatory filings.
