 of the civil trial against the NRA and its top executives is underway. During the first phase of the National Rifle Association's trial, a New York jury found the organization's former CEO Wayne LaPierre guilty of misspending millions of dollars in NRA money on a lavish lifestyle that included private planes and yachts. Now, Attorney General Letitia James is asking for an independent monitor to oversee the NRA and to ban LaPierre from collecting any money on behalf of any charitable organizations doing business in New York.
