Update (1140ET): James is starting off the hearing by detailing a state lawsuit against the NRA and seeking the dissolution of the pro-second amendment organization, one of several subjects she was expected to address today.
James alleges the the organization violated non-profit laws by diverting “millions of dollars away from the charitable mission of the organization for personal use by senior leadership,” who awarded contracts that benefited friends and family. That would be a slam-dunk if she were going after politicians. But at a non-profit, things are more blurry.
