Quick Glance: Jury finds NRA and Wayne LaPierre liable in civil corruption trial

Wayne LaPierre diverted millions of dollars from the National Rifle Association to live luxuriously, while the gun rights group failed to properly manage its finances.

The jury ruled that the National Rifle Association failed to properly run its nonprofit and its assets between March 20, 2014, and May 2, 2022.

Jurors found that LaPierre and other executives violated their statutory obligations, causing monetary harm to the NRA.

State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen will make decisions on monetary damages and potential oversight of the NRA's finances.

Quick Glance: Civil Fraud Debt: Trump Facing $454 Million Seizure

Donald Trump could lose some of his prized properties due to his inability to pay his staggering New York civil fraud penalty of nearly $454 million.

New York Attorney General Letitia James plans to seize Trump's assets if he fails to settle the court decision, with payments expected from Trump's sons and Weisselberg as well.

Appeal proceedings are likely as interest continues to accrue daily, increasing Trump's total amount to nearly half a billion dollars.

With each passing day, Trump owes an additional $87,502 in interest on his civil fraud penalty, bringing the total bill to continue growing.

Quick Glance: NRA Leader Allegedly Misuses Millions for Personal Luxuries

Wayne LaPierre diverted millions of dollars from the NRA to purchase personal luxuries while the organization flouted nonprofit laws.

LaPierre is accused of buying private jets, expensive meals, travel consultants, and trips to the Bahamas for himself and his family.

The lawsuit alleges that LaPierre spent over $500,000 on flights to the Bahamas and received over $1.2 million in expense reimbursements.

The NRA and its leaders are accused of violating nonprofit laws and internal policies, leading to a loss of over $64 million in three years.
