President Donald Trump’s niece told a state court Thursday that she never believed a settlement agreement she’d signed over her grandfather’s will would preclude her from writing about Trump.
Fraudulent Valuations?
In the Trump Family?
Say it ain’t so…
Pretty sure that’s a factual statement.
She has got to be his worst nightmare: an intelligent woman who knows all the family dirty laundry bent on revealing the truth while making money off his pain and has excellent lawyers.
“Indeed, the Settlement Agreement is unenforceable and void because Plaintiff and his siblings (including Donald Trump, the president of the United States) fraudulently induced Ms. Trump to enter into it based on false valuations that were revealed by the New York Times,” Boutrous said in a separate legal memo Thursday.

Will Barr weigh in on this too or would this be a bridge too far even for him? (Will the bridge hold his weight?) Unfortunately, his reputation is so damaged, and rightfully so, it’s one of the first questions that comes to anyone’s mind.
Agree, they have already tried and failed at the usual saw of “she is a failure”, etc. Could not get past the well respected and educated part. Think it began to fall apart when they tried to say she was uneducated and a sponge, sound familiar? Mary happens to be an expert in psychology. She holds a master’s degree in literature from Columbia University and a doctorate in psychology from Adelphi University.
I would think if the settlement she signed was based on inaccurate finances, she DEFINITELY can’t be held to the NDA.
I bet donnie is having a wonderful holiday weekend, right?
I assume he has requested the chance to drive golf balls from the top of Lincoln’s head.
Mary Trump signed the settlement agreement in 2001
The statute of limitations for fraud is four years. But an NDA lasts forever.
So in time a crook can be completely honest about his crime, but a person with knowledge of his sick nature must hide that knowledge forever. That’s backwards.
Conservative values are not Christian values.
When you can demonstrably, reasonably, and truthfully use the argument that your adversary is so corrupt and his actions and statements so fraudulent that he should not be able to hide his own corruption and fraud … well, that’s pretty sweet.
“Alex, I’ll take obvious answers for one billion dollars.”
No wonder she doesn’t get along with the family. Degrees based on merit.
Maybe she got the same recessive trump gene that donnie’s MIT uncle had.
The book is coming out, the publisher has it, and the Appellate Division overruled the Judge that Trump picked. It was an illegal prior restraint.
The NDA fight is really over whether Mary Trump can go on TV to promote her book and if Trump can try to seize the proceeds.
Nullified.
I’m aware.
Glad, not seen many pointing out that the real issue is that Trump will freak out when Mary Trump is interviewed on all of the morning shows (“septing” fox). Trying to prevent that is what this is all about. Trump can’t read, what will really set him off is Mary Trump making the case in her own words.
I am surprised the NDA didn’t have an arbitration clause. Maybe Mary’s aunt, the retired Federal Judge, didn’t trust Donnie or her other brother to select an arbiter.
Seems like Barrs finger prints are all over this.
And it doesn’t take a psychologist to know how to push his buttons, but if it did, she’s a psychologist. So there’s that.
