NEW YORK (Reuters) - The National Rifle Association filed a countersuit against New York Attorney General Letitia James, saying she lacks authority to invoke state laws governing nonprofits in her zeal to destroy the gun rights group.

In a Tuesday night court filing, the NRA, which filed for bankruptcy last month, accused James of “weaponizing” her powers to pursuing a “blatant and malicious retaliation campaign” against it because she dislikes what it stands for.

James’ office did not immediately respond on Wednesday to requests for comment.

The attorney general had sued the NRA and Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre last August, saying the nonprofit diverted millions of dollars to fund luxurious trips for officials, no-show contracts for associates, and other questionable expenses.
================================================================
Go get'm, Letitia. Their corporate greed & political power deserves to be exposed & legal action taken. I think they've already declared bankruptcy. And I think they were involved with funneling Russian money during Trump's election run.

I can't see what's so very wrong with not liking " diverting millions of dollars to fund luxurious trips for officials, no-show contracts for associates, and other questionable expenses" - but then again, I'm not one of the ones doing the diverting either..

Of course they did. They are fighting for their existence. It does not mean their lawsuit has validity.
