Nebraska is entangled in New York’s fight against the NRA’s alleged fraud, because Wayne LaPierre made several stop-offs at the NRA’s expense in Nebraska. Those flights were to pick up or drop off his niece with family. Mr. LaPierre states the flights were appropriate and related to NRA work.

LaPierre is quoted in the lawsuit attributing the Nebraska flights to his niece’s work with his wife on the NRA’s Women’s Leadership Forum. Several Nebraska flights are detailed in the suit, including one in January 2017.

That’s when LaPierre allegedly authorized a private jet to pick up his niece’s husband in North Platte on the way to Las Vegas for a Safari Club convention.

“LaPierre testified his niece ‘was working the entire time’ attending various donor meetings at the convention, so he authorized a flight to bring her husband ‘over [to] help babysit the child while the mother was working because there was nobody else to do it,’ ” according to the suit.

The lawsuit says LaPierre also authorized a private flight to fly the husband back to Nebraska two days before his niece was ready to return.
