The jury determined that LaPierre’s violation of his duties cost the NRA $5,400,000, though he already repaid roughly $1 million to the organization.

The New York Attorney General's Office sued the NRA and its senior management in 2020, claiming they misappropriated millions of dollars to fund personal benefits -- including private jets, family vacations and luxury goods.
