"NRA Chief Wayne LaPierre Testifies on Lavish Lifestyle and Misconduct Allegations"

Wayne LaPierre, the longtime chief of the National Rifle Association (NRA), testified in a civil corruption case brought against him by the New York attorney general. He claimed to have no knowledge of the significant amounts the NRA was spending on chartered private jets and was accused of using the organization's resources to fund an extravagant lifestyle. Evidence presented in court showed lavish spending on chartered flights, luxury gifts, and personal expenses billed to the NRA. The case also involves two other co-defendants and stems from a 2020 lawsuit brought by the New York attorney general.
