"NRA Leader's Lavish Lifestyle and Spending Under Scrutiny in Corruption Trial"

In a civil corruption trial in New York, the National Rifle Association's longtime chief, Wayne LaPierre, faced intense questioning about his extravagant spending, including unauthorized expenses on suits, luxury trips, and charter flights. The trial, brought by the New York attorney general, aims to show that the gun group has reformed its governance, with Mr. LaPierre announcing his resignation on the eve of the trial. The NRA's legal team grilled Mr. LaPierre to bolster their contention that regulatory intervention is unnecessary, with any money recouped from him set to be returned to the NRA.
