NRA leader Wayne LaPierre received a vote of confidence from members despite financial probe

The leader of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, survived a vote of confidence on Saturday.

The vote of confidence comes before the board vote on whether to keep LaPierre as executive vice president, which he is expected to win.

The annual meeting of the National Rifle Association will be held in Houston this weekend, just days after a teenager opened fire at a Texas elementary school.

The annual meeting of the National Rifle Association drew protests in Houston. Donald Trump spoke at the event and slammed Gov. Abbott for not attending.

According to a lawsuit by the New York Attorney General, LaPierre has been accused of misuse of millions of dollars away from the charitable mission of the organization for personal use by senior leadership.

A New York judge refused to accept a demand from James that the NRA be dissolved, according to Laura Italiano.

The 2020 lawsuit was kept alive by the Manhattan Supreme Court Justice, but he found that it did not allege the type of public harm that is the legal linchpin for imposing it.

Cohen said that dissolving the NRA could affect the free speech and assembly rights of its millions of members.

The decision was welcomed by the organization and its 5 million members.
