Courthouse News reports:

Wayne LaPierre took the witness stand one last time in New York’s corruption case against him on Wednesday, when he told a Manhattan jury that he paid back the National Rifle Association for a slew of donor-funded personal expenses. The longtime NRA chief executive told the court he wrote a series of checks between 2020 and 2023 that amounted to more than $1 million — the figure he determined he owed the organization for private flights, black car service, clothing and more.

Counsel will deliver closing arguments on Thursday and the jury will start deliberating on Friday.
