Donald Trump’s niece asked a state court on Thursday to throw out the former president’s $100 million lawsuit against her and the New York Times.
Mary Trump’s attorneys filed a motion to dismiss Trump’s lawsuit that stemmed from explosive news articles about his taxes and finances.
“This baseless case should be dismissed because it is a frivolous attempt to punish Mary Trump and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists for publishing truthful information of great public concern about former President Trump,” Theodore J. Boutrous, Jr., a partner with law firm Gibson Dunn, said.
“Mr. Trump has a long history of filing lawsuits simply to chill freedom of speech and of the press, and this is more of the same. The First Amendment and New York law forbid such abusive lawsuits.”

I hope he bankrupts her lying drunk ass
As my grandmother used to say, “if wishes were fishes, they’d all swim away”.
Actually, Trump always tries to protect himself against false claims. He loves Free Speech until it morphs into libel and slander....or fake news.
Everyone has an expectation that their tax records remain private. She and the Washington Post should pay for violating his civil rights.
How would Mary Trump get a hold of her uncle’s tax return?
Mary is a drunk trying to cash in on her name by employing baseless attacks and misinformation for profit.
The Straits Times had the best picture....

The ex-president’s niece allegedly shared her uncle’s documents that she received during the legal discovery during the estate battle
In another part of the article it says
Donald Trump had accused his niece of violating a non-disclosure agreement reached after a feud over the estate of Fred Trump – the ex-president’s dad and Mary’s grandfather. But Mary Trump’s attorneys said that under state law the agreement was “terminable at will” and unenforceable because it didn’t explicitly say the deal was permanent.
Therefore, there are 2 reasons to keep the information private. An expectation of privacy and a non-disclosure agreement. Both are not worth anything if they rule against Donald Trump.
Can you imagine if every contract is invalid if you don't say the deal is "permanent"?
That's a bit of a stretch in my opinion, but I am not a lawyer.
Mary Trump = Gold Digger
I hope she loses like that nxivm porn star.
