President Trump's sister has retired as a federal appellate judge in Philadelphia, ending a civil misconduct inquiry launched after a report that she participated in Trump family schemes to dodge taxes.
The retirement of Maryanne Trump Barry was revealed in an April 1 order signed by a top court official in New York, where the misconduct case was assigned to prevent conflicts of interest for judges who knew Barry.
The Times reported Trump's parents transferred over $1 billion to their children. It said that the transfer should have produced a tax bill of at least $550 million, but that the children paid only about $52.2 million.Scott Shuchart, an attorney who filed one of the complaints, said he was"absolutely disappointed" that Barry was able to end scrutiny of her actions by retiring.
"I think it's appalling that we're continuing to pay this criminal and that she now has completely avoided consequence," Shuchart added."It's ridiculous."
