The National Rifle Association, riven by political turmoil and accusations of fiscal mismanagement, sued its longtime public relations firm, accusing it of engineering a failed “coup” attempt by leaking damaging information to undermine the NRA’s leadership.

Ackerman McQueen Inc. fired back with a breach-of-contract countersuit, claiming the NRA is just trying to get out of its service agreement with the firm.
