"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.

Khan, who is currently serving a prison sentence, has been barred alongside other former members of his cabinet, while his party, PTI, alleges widespread bias as 90 percent of its candidates' nominations have been rejected. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's nominations have been accepted, although he still faces a life ban on holding public office. Khan accuses the military and the US of conspiring against him, claims both have denied.
