Donald Trump loses attempt to halt Mary Trump 's tell-all book
A New York City judge has dismissed a claim by Donald Trump's brother that sought to halt the publication of a tell-all book by the president's niece.
In a ruling handed down on Thursday, Judge Peter Kelly said the Surrogates Court lacked jurisdiction in the case. Mary Trump is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr., the president's elder brother, who died in 1981. An online description of her book,, says it reveals "a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse."
Robert Trump's lawyers filed court papers earlier this week arguing that Mary Trump and others had signed a settlement agreement that would prohibit her from writing the book. The settlement decades ago included a confidentially clause explicitly saying they would not "publish any account concerning the litigation or their relationship," unless they all agreed.
The agreement related to the will of Donald Trump's father, New York real estate developer Fred Trump.
