New York Attorney General Launches Investigation Into the National Rifle Association

New York Attorney General Launches Investigation Into the National Rifle Association

New York Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation into the National Rifle Association after reports surfaced of financial improprieties within the organization.

“The Office of New York State Attorney General Letitia James has launched an investigation related to the National Rifle Association (NRA). As part of this investigation, the Attorney General has issued subpoenas,” a spokesperson for the attorney general's office told NPR. According to NPR, the group received a document preservation notice in connection with the AG's investigation, and The New York Timesreports that several businesses connected with the gun rights group also received subpoenas.

The announcement comes just hours after and the pro-gun group's president, Oliver North, announced that he has been ousted, and The Daily Beast exclusively reportedthat longtime NRA lawyer, Steve Hart, has been suspended.

North's ouster capped off days of vicious infighting within the organization, with chief executive Wayne LaPierre claiming earlier this week that North was trying to blackmail him into leaving.

sounds like they are eating each other. Can't wait for all the guts of this one to come out, I'll have to wear a hazmat suit, though.
