Lawyers for Donald Trumps niece seeking to clear her path to publish a book about the family have cited bombshell New York Times reporting on the Trumps tax affairs as proof a non-disclosure agreement signed in 2001 was based on demonstrably fraudulent financial information and should be held invalid.
Attorneys for Mary Trump made the argument in filings in New York state supreme court in Dutchess county this week.
Simon & Schuster is set to publish Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Worlds Most Dangerous Man on 28 July. The presidents brother, Robert Trump, is seeking to block it, citing the NDA which was signed after litigation over a family will.
Earlier this week, a judge in New York granted a temporary restraining order against Mary Trump and the publisher. But in a sign that the book is likely to come out regardless, Simon & Schuster was released from the order, after saying it had printed 75,000 copies and started to ship them to sellers, and had been unaware of the NDA.

(9,231 posts)Very unlikely. One thing is for certain: if he does not call his niece out on allegations of fraud, it's a sure sign her allegations have basis in fact. And if he does, his tax returns or other documents will likely expose multiple, if unrelated, instances of fraud. A lose-lose for the lying scumbag.
Great gambit by her lawyers!
