National Rifle Association officials announced Saturday that Oliver North has stepped down as president of the influential gun rights group
Just days earlier, LaPierre claimed in a letter to board members that he was being both pressured to give up his post and extorted by North, 75, a former Marine Corps lieutenant colonel who was named president of the NRA last May. LaPierre’s letter was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal.
“I believe the purpose of the letter was to humiliate me, discredit our Association, and raise appearances of impropriety that hurt our members and the Second Amendment,” LaPierre reportedly wrote, adding that it would be “bad for me” and “two other members” of the group’s executive team. The dispute between North and LaPierre roughly began when the lawsuit against Ackerman McQueen was first filed, a move that put the fate of NRATV in question. The subscriber-based streaming service has often stirred controversy in the wake of mass shootings for its commentary about stricter gun laws. North was hired by Ackerman McQueen last year to host a documentary series for NRATV and his contract with the agency was mentioned in the lawsuit.
