A New York judge issued a ruling on Monday denying Attorney General Letitia James’ request to appoint a monitor to oversee the National Rifle Association (NRA). The judge barred former executive vice president and CEO Wayne LaPierre from a paid role within the organization for 10 years.
In February, during the first phase of the legal action, a New York jury found Mr. LaPierre liable for the misuse and mismanagement of millions in charitable funds and ordered him to pay $4.3 million in damages. Other NRA officials were ordered to pay restitution and one agreed to testify for the state.
