Former National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre testified today in a civil corruption trial brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The trial alleges that LaPierre misused NRA funds for personal expenses, including luxurious trips, private jets, extravagant meals, and private security.
LaPierre found himself under scrutiny as he took the stand in state Supreme Court, where he was examined by an assistant attorney general from New York State. It is worth noting that this is the same attorney general who also has an ongoing case against Donald Trump and his businesses. The focus of today's proceedings was on the various trips LaPierre had taken, such as those to the Bahamas and safaris in Africa, all allegedly paid for by NRA vendors.
