Bigshot Republican pollster fired after audit alleges financial misconduct: report

Raw Story  

Chris Wilson, a prominent Republican pollster was fired earlier this month amid allegations of financial misconduct, Politico reported. The audits of the company’s finances found that over the past several years Wilson used firm money to pay for items that were likely for personal expenses, such as vacations, health charges and the use of a nanny, according to five people with direct knowledge of the situation. Wilson at times used WPAI’s money to pay large portions of his personal credit card bill, which he would also use for company business, according to two of the people." One of the most prominent in recent years was former NRA executive Wayne LaPierre, whose lavish expenditure of organization funds on vacation and lifestyle purchases during a period when the organization was hemorrhaging revenue and membership ultimately led to his being banned from the organization for 10 years.
