TL;DR
Former NRA Executive Director of Operations, Joshua Powell, has settled with the New York Attorney General's office for $100,000, admitting to misuse of the nonprofit's funds ahead of a corruption trial. The settlement comes as part of a larger civil suit initiated by Attorney General Letitia James, who is also seeking to dissolve the NRA for alleged financial abuses by its leaders, including recently resigned CEO Wayne LaPierre. The trial against other NRA leaders is still set to proceed, with the aim of holding the organization accountable for decades of alleged financial misconduct.
