President Donald Trump said on April 29 that New York state officials are trying to “destroy” the National Rifle Association (NRA), after the state’s top Democrats opened an investigation into the organization last week.
The state’s attorney general, Letitia James, said on April 27 that her office has begun a probe related to the NRA and that she has issued subpoenas as part of the investigation. Reports indicate that the probe relates to the group’s tax-exempt status. James’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.
