If the class action claim is allowed to proceed, potentially millions of donors could be eligible to receive some form of damages.
The donor behind a multi-million dollar lawsuit accusing the National Rifle Association of fraud and financial malfeasance toldIn response to news of NRA donorNewsweekDell'Aquila filed what could become a class action claim in federal court on Tuesday alleging that the NRA is misrepresenting to donors how it uses their contributions.
Before his falling out with NRA leadership, Dell'Aquila had been a generous benefactor to the nonprofit, providing around $100,000 worth of donations since 2015. He had also planned, until recently, to donate 75 percent of his estate to the NRA upon his death. "We believe it was part of a contrived narrative to advance the interests of Lt. Col. North, his employer , and to deflect attention from their conduct," he added.
"This lawsuit parrots claims from an individual who has worked for anti-NRA organizations and openly campaigned against our cause and our Association. End of story," Meadows toldin a written statement."As we have said, this is stale news—recycled by those with personal agendas. I have full confidence in Wayne LaPierre, the Brewer firm, and the substantial amount of work being done in support of the NRA and our members.
"The fact that an allegation in a pleading is 'old news' does not make the allegation less fraudulent, if proven to be true," he said."With all due respect to Mr. Brewer and President Meadows, there is simply too much smoke coming out of the NRA building for current management to claim"business as usual.""
