The National Rifle Association and its former advertising agency Ackerman McQueen Inc. have settled a long-running legal dispute in which each had accused the other of financial misconduct.
Details of the deal weren’t disclosed in a Dallas federal court filing Thursday, just days before the case was expected to go to trial. The NRA and attorneys for Ackerman McQueen did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The dispute began in 2019 when the NRA accused Ackerman McQueen of over-charging, falsifying invoices and misleading its senior executives about the performance of NRA TV. At the time, top NRA officials were embroiled in an internal squabble amid press reports of self-dealing and financial malfeasance at the gun-rights advocacy group.
