"Wayne LaPierre Ends Tenure as NRA Chief Ahead of Corruption Trial"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by POLITICO
Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the National Rifle Association (NRA), has resigned ahead of a corruption trial in New York, citing health concerns. Despite his resignation, New York Attorney General Tish James' case against LaPierre and the NRA will proceed, aiming to hold them accountable for alleged financial misconduct. The NRA has faced legal and financial challenges recently, including a failed bankruptcy filing and declining membership. LaPierre's departure is seen by some as indicative of the NRA's waning influence.
