New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Thursday announced a lawsuit that aims to dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA), alleging that the powerful pro-gun interest group violated state law governing nonprofit organizations.
The civil suit alleges that the NRA instituted “a culture of self-dealing, mismanagement and negligent oversight.”
“As today’s complaints lays out, we found that the NRA […] fostered a culture of noncompliance and disregard for internal controls that led to the waste and loss of millions of assets and contributed to the NRA’s current deteriorated financial state,” James said during a press conference.
James alleged that the four defendants named in the lawsuit used the nonprofit organization as their “personal piggy bank.”
