Donald Trump's Niece Speaks Out in Affidavit as She Fights Tell-All Book Restraining Order

Mary Trump is continuing to fight to publish her upcoming tell-all about her uncle, President Donald Trump.

After news of Mary’s memoir, Too Much and Never Enough, was first leaked in June, the president’s younger brother, Robert Trump, sued Mary and publisher Simon & Schuster seeking to block the book, citing a confidentiality agreement Mary signed in 2001 in connection with a decades-old fight over family patriarch Fred Trump Sr.'s estate.

Although a judge recently agreed to lift the temporary restraining order against Simon & Schuster, the order remains imposed on Mary, pending a July 10 hearing. The book is set to be released on July 28.

In an affidavit submitted on Thursday night and obtained by PEOPLE on Friday, Mary wrote that she “never believed” the confidentiality agreement she signed “could possibly restrict me from telling the story of my life.”
