New York Sues National Rifle Association For Corruption

Summary from the AllSides News Team

New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the National Rifle Association (NRA) on Thursday, citing "years of self-dealing and illegal conduct." An accompanying press release said that after an 18-month investigation, the attorney general is suing the organization and four of its leaders for allegedly diverting millions of dollars for personal use and to buy the silence of friends and former employees. NRA president Carolyn Meadows said the group was counter-suing the New York attorney general's office, calling it "a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda." President Donald Trump called the lawsuit "a very terrible thing" and suggested that the NRA move its headquarters to Texas on Thursday. As of Thursday, there has been consistent coverage of this story from all sides of the political spectrum. Some coverage from left-rated outlets provided detailed analyses of the NRA's leadership and the alleged crimes they committed.
