TRUMP BLASTS NIECE FOR `CONSPIRACY THEORIES'

-

U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit claiming he defrauded his niece out of an inheritanc­e worth tens of millions of dollars, accusing her of embracing “conspiracy theories” in her quest to consume him with lawsuits after he leaves the White House. The president's lawyers said Mary Trump, pictured, gave up her claims in a 2001 settlement with family members over the estate of his father Fred Trump Sr, who died in 1999. They also said Mary Trump waited too long to accuse Donald Trump, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his late brother Robert Trump of trying to “squeeze” her out of her inheritanc­e, relying instead on a 2018 New York Times report on tax matters involving the family.
