Mary Trump, the niece of PresidentĀ Donald Trump, is filing a lawsuit against the president, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry and their brother Robert Trump accusing them of committing fraud.
According to the lawsuit, when Mary Trumpās father died in 1981, she inherited āvaluable minority interests in the family business.ā
The lawsuit alleges rather than protect her interests, āThey designed and carried out a complex scheme to siphon funds away from her interests, conceal their grift, and deceive her about the true value of what she had inherited.ā
It argues when Maryās grandfather died in 1999, the Trump family āmoved to squeeze Mary out altogether.ā
The lawsuit added, āAll told, they fleeced her of tens of millions of dollars or more.ā
Mary Trumpās lawsuit comes a little more than two months after she published her book, āToo Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the Worldās Most Dangerous Man.ā
In her book, she claims the president paid someone to take his SAT for him, as IJR previously reported.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews slammed Mary Trump for her motives behind publishing the book.
āMary Trump and her bookās publisher may claim to be acting in the public interest, but this book is clearly in the authorās own financial self-interest,ā Matthews said.
Mary Trump called her uncleās pathologies āso complexā and āhis behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neurophysical tests.ā
During an exclusive interview with ABCās George Stephanopoulos, Mary Trump called on her uncle to āresign,ā as IJR previously reported.
The president took to Twitter to attack Mary Trump just days after she published her book.
He called her a āmess.ā
