NRA sues former PR firm for third time since April, escalating bitter legal dispute
Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president and CEO, speaks to guests at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum at the 148th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits on April 26, 2019 in Indianapolis, Indiana.The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit in federal court on Friday against its now-estranged PR firm Ackerman McQueen, the third such lawsuit pitting the two groups against each other in recent months.
"To the contrary, the NRA is no longer an [Ackerman] client and does not endorse [Ackerman's] services," the lawsuit states.Newsweek"This latest meritless filing represents a new low in the NRA's ceaseless waste of its members' dues," the firm said."The NRA stopped fighting for any aspect of their members' agenda over a year ago. Instead, they became a factory for frivolous lawsuits.
The following month, the NRA sued Ackerman in Virginia state court once more, this time leveling accusations of retribution through alleged leaks to the media and of plotting a coup against embattled CEO Wayne LaPierre. Ackerman responded with its own $50 million counterclaim, alleging that the NRA breached the pair's operating agreement, causing them to suffer monetary damages.
