From that article: "New York Attorney General Letitia James accused LaPierre of gross negligence for allegedly diverting millions from the NRA for personal use, including for designer clothes, private planes and luxury goods. The accusations came at the end of three-year investigation into the NRA in August 2020."
The civil lawsuit is a hack job against the organization as a whole. So I hope that the NRA can fight this suit and prevail. It's amazing how they are trying to tear down the 2nd Amendment at every venue and turn.
A good friend of mine, a Federal Appeals Court Judge, mentioned how the NYSRPA vs. Bruen decision would not make a lot of difference "on the ground." This was very disheartening and from what I have seen, he is mostly right. I wonder how bad it will get.
