"Wayne LaPierre on Trial: The Legal Battle That Could Dismantle NRA Leadership"

Wayne LaPierre, the leader of the National Rifle Association (NRA), is set to face trial in a corruption case after a New York state court dismissed the NRA's claim that the investigation by Attorney General Letitia James was politically motivated. The lawsuit accuses LaPierre and other executives of misusing NRA funds for personal gain. Despite the NRA's efforts to halt the investigation, the court found sufficient evidence of wrongdoing to proceed with the trial, which is expected to last six to eight weeks starting January 8. The case seeks to recover misappropriated funds and prevent the defendants from serving on nonprofit boards in New York.
