"Ex-NRA Executive's Guilty Plea and Resignation Shake Up NY AG's Landmark Corruption Trial"

Joshua Powell, former NRA operations director, has pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to testify in the trial against the organization led by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The trial accuses senior NRA management of misappropriating funds for personal use. Powell admitted to breaching his fiduciary duties and misusing charitable assets, resulting in a $100,000 restitution and a permanent bar from nonprofit officer roles. Wayne LaPierre, NRA's executive vice president, has resigned citing health reasons, amidst these legal challenges.
