A top National Rifle Association official has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the nonprofit groups lawyer, according to a recent court filing, in a sign of ongoing turmoil surrounding the nations largest gun group.
The removal of Joshua L. Powell, the NRAs chief of staff, was referenced in a Jan. 23 filing in Alexandria Circuit Court by the NRAs former public relations agency, Ackerman McQueen. Mr. Powell has now been placed on leave by the NRA pending an investigation by NRA counsel, the filing in Virginia says.
The NRA and Ackerman are engaged in a sprawling legal battle with multiple lawsuits and countersuits that encompass accusations of reckless spending and leaks to the media.
The NRA did not respond to repeated requests for comment about Powell, whose compensation rose 18 percent last year to $919,969, according to the groups tax returns. He also received $57,168 in taxable personal expenses. The recent court filing does not state whether Powell is being paid while on leave or give the reason.

At this point I don't know why anyone would give their money to the NRA.
