LaPierre Appeal Fails: NRA Members Win Back Millions, But Trust Still Must Be Rebuilt

Summary

A New York appellate court unanimously upheld a judgment against former NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre on June 2, 2026. The ruling requires LaPierre to repay over $4.3 million plus interest to the NRA and bars him from holding any NRA fiduciary position for ten years. LaPierre's appeal challenging the monetary damages and the ban was rejected, affirming the December 2024 jury findings that he violated his fiduciary duties.
