Donald Trump sues NY Times, his niece for uncovered tax documents
Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday against his niece Mary Trump and the New York Times stemming from explosive news articles about the former president’s taxes and finances.
Trump is seeking no less than $100 million in damages, accusing Mary of breaking a non-disclosure agreement by leaking his personal tax documents to the Times.
“The defendants engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly-sensitive records which they exploited for their own benefit and utilized as a means of falsely legitimizing their publicized works,” Trump attorney Alina Habba alleges in the 27-page complaint, filed in Dutchess County, New York Supreme Court.
“The defendants’ actions were motivated by a personal vendetta and their desire to gain fame, notoriety, acclaim and a financial windfall and were further intended to advance their political agenda.”
Times’ reporters Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner were in an “extensive crusade” to get Trump’s tax records and “relentlessly sought out his niece, Mary L. Trump, and convinced her to smuggle the records out of her attorneys’ office and turn them over to The Times,” the lawsuit claims.
The Times reporters won a 2019 Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the president’s finances and taxes. The lawsuit accuses the Times of attempting to capitalize on Trump’s tax record through “their publication of various news articles.”
Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha told The Post the newspaper will fight the suit.

I really hope he wins and bankrupts that b^tch
Hmmm. Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, here it is...
When it’s necessary to convince oneself that being a backstabbing, asshole is worth it ???
That jackass should suffer some financial hurt for at least a few years.
LOL! Yep, they’ve said that about a billion times. I really hope he wins in 2024, the look on their faces is going to be priceless
Mary Trump called the suit “desperation” in a statement to The Daily Beast.“I think he is a -—–king loser.
Classy statement, Mary.
Vile scumbag. WTF doesn’t this piece of sh*t simply shed the name Trump if she hates him so much? Of course the piece of sh*t won’t because she gains fame and fortune from the name writing garbage books and being used by the left.
If you want to expose other’s taxes you should have to expose your own. Let’s see yours Mary.
Great video.
Thanks for the link.
The dinosaur media is destroying itself.
If Trump wins, I would expect his claim will easily be declared non-dischrgeable.
Explosive? If I remember correctly, this was a huge pile of nothing.
Yeah,my crystal ball shows me: “A settlement agreement has been reached, no further questions, and no disclosure as to what was agreed upon.” End of story. No admission from the NYT.” The end.
She sounds upset.
Such agreements are put in place to PREVENT disclosure. AFTER disclosure, it’s damages!
According to the filing, “The brazenness of the defendants’ actions cannot be understated”. Makes me wonder about the caliber of the legal talent representing him.
“convinced her to smuggle the records out of her attorneys’ office”
and just exactly what was her lawyer doing with them to begin with, and did he let her have access to them?
She’s a vile pig, absolute zero integrity.
She looks like her uncle in drag. Orange bitch bad.
