Senate Democrats ask NRA executives, PR firm for documents related to alleged self-dealing
By Katie Zezima Katie Zezima National reporter covering vice Email Bio Follow May 2 at 8:23 PM Three Senate Democrats have asked current and former National Rifle Association executives and the organization’s public relations firm to turn over letters, third-party audits, memos and other materials as they look into allegations of self-dealing and examine the NRA’s nonprofit status.
On Saturday, North said he would not seek a second term as president, citing the lawsuit against Ackerman, news reports about alleged financial mismanagement and confrontations over what board members said were excessive payments to the NRA’s outside law firm. North said he had created a committee to look into the organization’s finances.
William A. Brewer III, the NRA’s outside counsel, said the organization will “cooperate with all appropriate information requests.” “The issues raised by Col. North were, for the most part, vetted and approved after review and investigation by the NRA last year,” Brewer said.
