Three more National Rifle Association leaders, including NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, are stepping down as questions swirl over the group's spending
Country music singer and NRA board member Craig Morgan has resigned, sources with knowledge of the matter tell CNN, and NASCAR team owner Richard Childress stepped down on Monday. David Lehman, the deputy executive director and general counsel at the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, also is leaving the organization, the sources tell CNN. Both Morgan and Childress were prominent public faces for the NRA.
I have reached that point in my ability to continue to serve the NRA. As such, I must resign."But Childress, along with North, previously raised concerns about the amount of money the NRA was spending on outside lawyer William Brewer and his firm Brewer Attorneys & Counselors, according to documents obtained by CNN. When North raised concerns about the NRA's spending, he was effectively ousted as the group's president.
