Washington (CNN) Emails and photos showing that members of the National Rifle Association organized a trip to Moscow in 2015 appear to contradict claims made by the group to distance itself from the trip, ABC reported Wednesday. LaPierre prohibited staff members from attending the trip at the time and then-NRA President Allan Cors agreed not to go on the trip. "When he became aware of the details of the trip, Wayne was personally opposed to it," said William A. "In order that the group was not viewed as representing the NRA, Wayne spoke with several people about the excursion. In addition, NRA staff members who were in Israel (for a trip that preceded the visit to Russia) returned home."
