The publisher of a “tell-all” book by a niece of President Trump said it might be unable to prevent her book from becoming public -- adding it was unaware of any non-disclosure agreement that would prevent the book from being published -- after a judge ordered a temporary halt on its release, according to reports.
Simon & Schuster said it had already shipped out thousands of a 75,000-copy run of Mary Trump's “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man."
The books had already been printed before the New York Supreme Court judge's ruling, The Washington Post reported.
The book is scheduled to be released July 28 -- less than four months before the presidential election -- but Judge Hal Greenwald issued a temporary restraining order until he can hear arguments next week after the president’s younger brother, Robert Trump, filed a court action.

After the massive amount awarded to President Trump when he sues this nasty back stabbing piece of garbage and her publisher, Simon & Schuster might have to go out of business.
Any honest judge is going to say that doesn't matter. The publisher SHOULD HAVE known. A party is not allowed to avoid contract provisions by making themselves ignorant by choice.
Judge will rule no prior restraint - its in the public domain and newsworthy.
Exactly.
The *ONLY* case in which prior restraint should ever apply is in classified information the release of which would cause quantifiable damage to governmental persons or property; not CYA bullshit like the Pentagon Papers.
What is the problem? It is just money..
Like any other publisher this publisher will have to recall the books, pay for the expense of the recall and then burn the books.
Why would they be treated any differently?.
Of course, sale and distribution of the books would be illegal and the publisher’s staff and management ought to be arrested if the books are not recalled.
