Former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre Found Responsible for Financial Misconduct, Barred for Ten Years
Wayne LaPierre, the long-serving leader of the National Rifle Association (NRA), resigned from his position as CEO in January 2024. This resignation followed a New York jury's finding that he was responsible for corruption and financial misconduct. The jury determined that LaPierre misused $5.4 million in NRA funds, leading to a court order for him to repay approximately $4.3 million. Additionally, LaPierre has been barred from serving as an NRA officer or director for a period of ten years. Allegations during bankruptcy proceedings included the use of NRA funds for private jets, luxury travel, and other personal expenses. This development comes as the NRA attempts to re-establish its influence, including launching a 13-state bus tour ahead of midterm elections.
