Judge Blocks New York Attorney General Letitia James’ Bid to Put NRA Out of Business
By Cristina Laila
A Manhattan judge on Wednesday blocked New York Attorney General Letitia James’ bid to shut down the National Rifle Association (NRA).
The judge however allowed James’ lawsuit accusing Wayne LaPierre and other top executives for funneling millions of dollars from the NRA to continue.
AP reported:
Manhattan Judge Joel M. Cohen said allegations of NRA officials misspending on personal trips, no-show contracts and other questionable expenditures can be addressed by other remedies, such as fines and restitution, and do not warrant the “corporate death penalty” that Attorney General Letitia James had sought.
