NRA Assistant Diverted $40K to Pay For Wedding, Personal Expenses

A longtime assistant to National Rifle Association executive Wayne LaPierre diverted tens of thousands of dollars from the organization to pay for a family wedding, according to testimony at the group's bankruptcy trial Tuesday.

NRA general counsel John Frazer said Millie Hallow used more than $40,000 to pay for her son's wedding and other personal expenses. While under questioning from lawyers representing New York attorney general Letitia James (D.), Frazer said Hallow was forced to repay the money in 2019.

"A demand for repayment was made," Frazer said. "And it was repaid with interest." Frazer said Hallow remains employed by the gun-rights group. He did not know whether she was disciplined for the incident.
