#Letitia James sues to break up NRA, says execs used funds for lavish lifestyle

The New York attorney general filed a lawsuit Thursday to break up the National Rifle Association — alleging its top execs siphoned millions from the organization to fund lavish lifestyles.

AG Letitia James alleges the pro-gun group’s executive vice president, Wayne LaPierre, and other top brass broke state and federal laws by mismanaging the organization’s funds — which in a three-year period led to a loss of $64 million.

The suit — which also names former treasurer and chief financial officer Wilson “Woody” Phillips, former chief of staff and executive director of general operations Joshua Powell and corporate secretary and general counsel John Frazer — alleges they variously used the funds for trips with their families to the Bahamas, private jets and expensive meals.

Since the NRA has been registered as a nonprofit, they are only allowed to use the group’s money to further the group’s mission and to serve the interests of the members.

“The NRA’s influence has been so powerful that the organization went unchecked for decades while top executives funneled millions into their own pockets,” James said in a statement.

“The NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse, which is why, today, we seek to dissolve the NRA, because no organization is above the law.”
