Trump sues niece, New York Times for $100m over Pulitzer-winning tax story

Former US President, Donald Trump

Former US President, Donald Trump has filed a 100million dollars lawsuit against his estranged niece, Mary Trump and The New York Times, alleging they engaged in “an insidious plot” to obtain his tax returns for the paper’s investigation of his finances.

The lawsuit, filed in Dutchess County, New York state, noted that New York Times reporters, Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russ Buettner conducted “an extensive crusade to obtain Donald J. Trump’s confidential tax records”.

“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. They were motivated by a personal vendetta”.

It can be recalled that New York Times and three journalists won the Pulitzer in 2019 for their investigation of the Trump family’s finances, which the Pulitzer Prize Board said, “debunked his claims of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges”.

The newspaper’s story alleged that Trump had received more than 400 million dollars in today’s terms from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through fraudulent tax schemes.

Mary is the daughter of the eldest Trump brother Fred Trump Jr, who died in 1981 from complications due to alcoholism.

In Mary’s 2020 memoir, ‘Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man’, she revealed that she was the primary source for the New York Times investigation.

Trump’s 27-page lawsuit asserts that the New York Times reporters “relentlessly sought out his niece, Mary L. Trump, and convinced her to smuggle the records out of her attorney’s office and turn them over to The Times”.

However, Times reporter, Craig in response to the charge tweeted: “I knocked on Mary Trump’s door. She opened it. I think they call that journalism”.

The lawsuit alleges that, by providing information, Mary Trump was in violation of a non-disclosure agreement signed in 2001 after a settlement over the estate of Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr.

The former President is seeking 100 million dollars in compensation and damages, as well as all the proceeds from his niece’s book.

Mary reacting to her uncle’s lawsuit in a statement called him “a loser”.

“It’s desperation. The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that he thinks will stick. As is always the case with Donald, he’ll try and change the subject”.

Meanwhile, Trump is under investigation in New York for tax fraud and other alleged wrongdoings relating to the financial activities of his Trump Organization.

That notwithstanding, the Justice Department in August also ordered the Treasury to provide a congressional committee with six years of records that Trump has long refused to make public.

It is worth noting that US Presidents are not required by law to release details of their personal finances, but every US leader since Richard Nixon has done so.

Trump repeatedly said he would release them pending an audit but ultimately broke with the tradition.

Danielle Rhoades Ha, a spokeswoman for New York Times said in a statement:

“The Times’s coverage of Donald Trump’s taxes helped inform citizens through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest. This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations and we plan to vigorously defend against it”.
