YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Wayne LaPierre, the longtime CEO of the National Rifle Association, said Friday he plans to step down after more than three decades at the helm of the powerful gun rights group.

The NRA’s announcement on Friday comes just three days before the start of a civil trial brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who has alleged that LaPierre and other executives used the organization as their “personal piggy bank” to fund luxury Caribbean vacations, the use of private jets and fancy dinners.

Andrew Arulanandam will become the interim CEO & EVP, the organization said.

LaPierre, whose resignation takes effect Jan. 31, is among several top NRA executives who are expected to testify at the trial. He and others at the group have denied any wrongdoing.

James, a Democrat, has accused the NRA’s senior leadership, including LaPierre, of illegally diverting tens of millions of dollars from the group’s coffers and spending its funds on personal trips, no-show contracts and other shady expenditures.
