"NRA's Wayne LaPierre Faces New York Corruption Trial After Resignation"

The corruption trial of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and its former leader Wayne LaPierre is set to begin in New York, following allegations of financial misconduct and misuse of funds. New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the NRA and LaPierre in 2020, accusing them of diverting millions of dollars for personal luxuries and violating nonprofit laws. LaPierre, who recently resigned citing health reasons, is expected to testify in the trial, which could last six weeks. The NRA denies wrongdoing and has accused James of targeting it for political reasons.
