The report follows a year of public revelations about the NRA's spending habits that have led to questions about its viability as a non-profit.

Tax law strictly regulates how non-profit groups can spend donor money, and some arrangements by the NRA have aroused the suspicion of tax experts.

The NRA has publicly denied wrongdoing and described the scuttled venture as a potential investment. The tax code provides that the use of a non-profit's resources for the private benefit of insiders could lead to a revocation of its tax-exempt status. Schneider is also lambasting the NRA for what the report alleges are attempts to stymie compliance with his office's oversight. Ackerman McQueen, the NRA's now-estranged public relations firm, received a request for documents from Schneider in August 2019. Ackerman told Schneider in response that it could not disclose files from its NRA account without the group's prior consent, pursuant to a confidentiality provision in the pair's operating contract.
