Members phkrause Posted January 12 Author Members Share Posted January 12 Secret Recording Shows NRA Treasurer Plotting to Conceal Extravagant Expenses Involving Wayne LaPierre At a meeting in June 2009, the treasurer of the National Rifle Association worked out a plan to conceal luxury expenses involving its chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Trace and ProPublica. The recording was unknown to New York’s attorney general, who is pursuing the NRA and LaPierre over a range of alleged financial misdeeds. It shows, in real time, the NRA’s treasurer enlisting the group’s longtime public relations firm to obfuscate the extravagant costs. https://www.propublica.org/article/nra-wayne-lapierre-recording-private-jet-limousine-expenses?

Members phkrause Posted May 7 Author Members Share Posted May 7 Scoop ... Noem angled for top NRA gig By Juliegrace Brufke and Sophia Cai South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem speaks at an event featuring former President Trump in Vandalia, Ohio, on March 16. Photo: Kamil Krzaczynski/AFP via Getty Images Republican South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem pitched herself for a top NRA job as early as last fall, two sources told Axios. Why it matters: Noem offered to step down early as governor for the role, according to a person familiar with her conversation with former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre. Late last fall, Noem called LaPierre to advocate to be the next executive vice president or CEO of the gun lobby. Noem is now in a heated PR cycle over passages in her book about fatally shooting her dog and meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The big picture: Noem has long been aligned with the NRA, signing an executive order during its annual conference last year. Her name came up in very senior NRA circles immediately after LaPierre resigned in January, according to a source familiar. LaPierre has little official control over who will be tapped as his successor, but stocked much of the board. Zoom in: Noem was previously seen as a potential contender to be Trump's running mate. She has vehemently defended her decision to kill her dog, Cricket, arguing the 14-month-old animal was dangerous and untrainable. When pressed on the supposed Kim meeting, Noem refused to provide a definitive answer but said the book would be changed. The other side: A spokesperson for Noem "unequivocally" denied the governor had a conversation with LaPierre. "She loves her job as governor of South Dakota," Ian Fury told Axios. LaPierre, through his lawyer Kent Correll, declined to comment. Axios has reached out to the NRA for comment.
