Feds Want NRA Lawyer Kicked Off Bankruptcy Case

The Department of Justice is trying to sack the NRA's top lawyer from its bankruptcy case.

William Neary, who runs part of the Department of Justice program enforcing bankruptcy laws in northern Texas, accused NRA outside counsel Bill Brewer of covering up his "divided loyalties and conflicts of interest" on Tuesday. He petitioned the court to remove Brewer, citing the NRA attorney's marriage to the sister of a former NRA contractor involved in the case, as well as accusations that Brewer overbilled the organization.

"These disqualifying conflicts are compounded by [Brewer]'s failure to disclose them in the Application and by [Brewer]'s failure to disclose all of its pre-petition compensation," Neary said in the filing.
