NEW YORK (Reuters) - The National Rifle Association has failed to root out rampant internal corruption, even after a bankruptcy case designed to avoid that obligation was thrown out, New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a court filing seeking to dissolve the gun rights group.
In an amended complaint filed on Monday, James said the NRA's concealment of questionable transactions, awarding perks to longtime Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre and other insiders, disregard of good governance, and evasion of accountability have "continued unabated" since she sued the nonprofit last August.
The amended complaint was filed after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Harlin Hale in Dallas dismissed the NRA's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in May, calling it an improper effort to gain an "unfair litigation advantage" and avoid James' oversight.
William Brewer, a lawyer for the NRA, accused James of quoting "selectively" from Hale's opinion to support her case.

(2,577 posts)questions about the NRA being used to funnel money to PACs to support Trump in 2016.
I think if convicted of that the Republican political party and PACS should be made to run ads at regular intervals for a year to inform U.S. Citizens that the NRA and the Republican political party took Russian money, or something similar.
They ran a lot of ads, let the PACs who took the money and the NRA pay for some public service ads as well.
