"AG's Alleged Plan to 'Decapitate' NRA with Civil Trial, Says Wayne LaPierre's Lawyer"

Defense attorneys for the NRA and its executives, including Wayne LaPierre, claim that the civil corruption case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James was politically motivated to destroy the gun rights group, alleging that James sought to "decapitate" the organization. The case accuses LaPierre of misusing funds for personal luxuries, while other executives are accused of breaching fiduciary duties. The NRA's attorneys argue that the case is about self-defense against the government and not about Second Amendment rights. The jury is set to begin deliberations, and potential monetary damages and remedies will be determined by the judge.
