NY AG Letitia James files lawsuit against the NRA and 4 individuals, including longtime leader Wayne LaPierre, seeking to dissolve the gun rights advocacy group for “diverting charitable funds.”

against the NRA and the NRA Foundation, which is incorporated in D.C., for"misusing charitable funds to support wasteful spending by the NRA and its executives." The suit seeks the return of money used by the NRA to the NRA Foundation and to ensure the foundation is"operated independently and fulfills its charitable purposes."

"It's a transparent attempt to score political points and attack the leading voice in opposition to the leftist agenda," Meadows said in a statement."This has been a power grab by a political opportunist — a desperate move that is part of a rank political vendetta. Our members won't be intimidated or bullied in their defense of political and constitutional freedom.

LaPierre later accused North of trying to extort him. But the longtime public face of the NRA has also come under scrutiny from major donors worried about the group's revenue and mounting legal troubles. , tweeting that the group was"under siege" by her and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, both Democrats,"who are illegally using the State's legal apparatus to take down and destroy this very important organization, & others."
