William Winkler, the CFO of former-NRA contractor Ackerman McQueen, said in a March 26th deposition that the NRA did not end up paying for suits bought for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre at luxury store Zegna. Ackerman McQueen "never billed anything to the NRA for Zegna." 
Winkler says Ackerman advised LaPierre to get the luxury suits for media appearances and LaPierre picked Zegna. But Winkler says Ackerman paid for the suits and never charged the NRA. The hundreds of thousands spent on LaPierre's suits have been a major media focus since 2019.
It should be noted that Ackerman used opaque billing practices with the NRA, according to the NRA's lawsuits against them. So, that leaves some significant gray area in how exactly Ackerman used the money it charged the NRA.
But Ackerman's CFO did directly say in court that the NRA did not pay for Wayne LaPierre's suits from Zegna.
