lavish trips

A New York judge has issued a ten-year ban on Wayne LaPierre, the former leader of the National Rifle Association (NRA), from serving in a paid position with the gun rights group. Judge Joel Cohen's ruling follows a Manhattan jury verdict in February, which found LaPierre guilty of misappropriating millions of dollars of the NRA's funds for lavish trips and personal expenses.

Judge Cohen's decision bars LaPierre, who served as the executive vice president of the NRA, from being employed by any New York non-profit. . .
