"NRA's Defense and Distancing in NY Corruption Trial"

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is facing a civil trial brought by the New York Attorney General alleging violations of nonprofit laws and misuse of funds, with longtime leader Wayne LaPierre and other executives accused of enriching themselves. The NRA's defense team seeks to distance the organization from LaPierre, emphasizing that it was a victim of betrayal and that past violations were concealed from the board. The trial, expected to last six weeks, involves multiple defendants and could result in recommendations for repayment and potential leadership changes within the NRA.
