Wayne LaPierre, the former chief executive of the National Rifle Association, defended his spending on travel, clothing and contracts with associates in his testimony at the gun rights group’s corruption trial in Manhattan. Read more about his testimony.
New York state Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Conley asked him about increases in monthly fees for an NRA contract with a company owned by Hollywood producer David McKenzie, at around the time LaPierre vacationed with him in California and on a yacht in the Bahamas in 2015 and 2016.
Though he is a defendant, LaPierre is the star witness for New York Attorney General Letitia James. LaPierre resigned suddenly three days before the trial began on Jan. 8.
