A Manhattan, New York jury found that the NRA was liable for civil litigation in connection with its former leader Wayne LaPierre. In 2020, New York Attorney Letitia James sued the NRA, LaPierre, and other leaders of this organization. The case ended this week with a verdict by a jury. After a week of deliberations, a New York juror found that both the NRA, and its former Executive Vice President/CEO, Wayne LaPierre were liable for improperly spending NRA donor money. Mr. LaPierre was ordered to repay more than $4.351 millions to the NRA. It is unclear whether Mr. LaPierre or the NRA will appeal the trial results.

Wayne LaPierre resigned from his position as CEO and Executive vice president of the NRA prior to the civil trial beginning in New York.

LaPierre, who is 74 years old, cited health issues as the reason for his departure. Origins and outcome of the New York civil lawsuit vs. Wayne LaPierre & OthersLetitia James, the New York Attorney General, filed a civil suit on August 6, 2020 after 18 months of investigation against the NRA, LaPierre, treasurer Wilson Phillips and former chief of staff Joshua Powell, who is now the executive director of general operation, as well as general counsel and secretary John Frazer. She accused them of fraud, financial misconduct and misuse of charity funds and demanded the dissolution of their association because of chronic fraudulent management. The NRA tried to move the case to Texas and dismiss the dissolution suit, but Federal Judge Harlin Hale of Northern District of Texas ruled the NRA acted in bad faith. In March 2022, New York Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen denied the request to dissolve the NRA. However, the lawsuit against LaPierre, the organization, and the NRA could continue. LaPierre’s civil trial ended on February 23, 2024, with a jury ordering him to repay $4,351,231. The jury also ordered Wilson Phillips, the retired finance chief of the NRA, to pay back $2 million. It also found that the NRA had omitted or misrepresented data in its tax filings and violated New York laws by failing to adopt whistleblower policies.
