"Wayne LaPierre's Reign at Risk as NRA Confronts Decisive New York Trial"
TL;DR
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA, is set to face a corruption trial in New York, which could potentially end his career. The lawsuit by Attorney General Letitia James alleges that LaPierre and other officials misused NRA funds for personal expenses. Despite the NRA's failed attempt to dismiss the case as politically motivated, the trial is proceeding with evidence of wrongdoing found by the attorney general's investigation. The defense argues that the NRA has since corrected its practices and that many witnesses are no longer associated with the organization. The trial begins on January 8 and is expected to last two months.
