New York judge dismisses NRA's claims that the state attorney general's investigation into allegations of widespread fraud and mismanagement at the gun group is unfair political retaliation.
The NRA had filed counterclaims seeking money damages from state Attorney General Letitia James, as well as a court order that would end her civil suit against the group., State Supreme Court Justice Joel M. Cohen said the NRA had failed to put forward"any viable legal claims that the Attorney General’s investigation was unconstitutionally retaliatory or selective."
The NRA's lawyer, William A. Brewer III, said they were"disappointed" in the ruling but that it would not"impact the NRA’s defense of the NYAG’s lawsuit."against the NRA in 2020, accusing chief executive Wayne LaPierre and other top officials of “years of illegal self-dealing” that funded a “lavish lifestyle.”
The action sought, among other things, to boot LaPierre from the group and dissolve the organization, which is the country's most powerful gun lobbyist. The NRA used Cohen's finding that dissolution was too severe a penalty to further its claims that James' probe was politically motivated."Although certain of the Attorney General’s claims were dismissed by the Court on legal grounds, they were serious claims based on detailed allegations of wrongdoing at the highest levels of a not-for-profit organization as to which the Attorney General has legitimate oversight responsibility.
