"Trump Lawsuit Settlement: What To Know The Trumps announced the settlement on Tuesday" (re: mary trump)
"Trump Lawsuit Settlement: What To Know
"The Trumps announced the settlement on Tuesday, according to court records reviewed by Newsweek.
President Donald Trump settled a $100 million lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, over accusations that she leaked information to The New York Times for an investigation into his finances.
Mary Trump has garnered attention for her vocal critiques of her estranged uncle’s politics and administration and is a rare member of the Trump family to speak out against the president. The settlement ends one of the most personal legal battles in the president's orbit, stemming from Mary Trump’s role in providing family tax documents to The New York Times.
“The parties are pleased to report they have reached a settlement and anticipate being able to stipulate to the dismissal of this action with prejudice in the ensuing weeks, following completion of certain conditions precedent,” the letter reads.
More details about the settlement or any conditions were not immediately made public on Wednesday.
Newsweek reached out to lawyers representing Donald Trump and Mary Trump in the case for comment.
