The National Rifle Association’s board acted as a rubber stamp for longtime leader Wayne LaPierre, ignoring calls to independently probe allegations that he and other executives misused gun-rights group funds, one of its directors said.

In a Friday court filing seeking permission to intervene in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s 2020 lawsuit against the group, NRA board member Roscoe “Rocky” Marshall called the official’s corruption allegations against LaPierre and other executives highly credible and described how he called on the board to conduct its own investigation.
