Would that still apply if, at the time of PDJT’s settlement w/ Mary Trump (2001), they were both residents of NY, and the settlement was made through a New York court, AND at the time the NYT published its article (2018), PDJT was a resident of New York?
I know he changed his residency to FL in 2019. It appears that he filed this action in 2021.
