Former National Rifle Association operations director
Joshua Powell has settled civil claims of fraud and
abuse brought by the New York Attorney General's
office.

The admission comes hours after Wayne LaPierre, the
executive vice president of the NRA, announced his
resignation ahead of a trial scheduled to begin
Monday. LaPierre cited health reasons, according to
the NRA. The resignation will be effective Jan. 31.

Powell was employed by the NRA from 2016 through
January 2020 and in that time "Powell breached his
fiduciary duties and failed to administer the
charitable assets entrusted to his care by using his
powers as an officer and senior executive of the NRA
to convert charitable assets for his own benefit and
for the benefit of his family members," the settlement
agreement said.


"Joshua Powell's admission of wrongdoing and Wayne LaPierre's resignation confirm what we have alleged for years: the NRA and its senior leaders are financially corrupt," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement Saturday.

I can't wait until Wayne Lapierre is in chains.
