Trump sues niece and NYT for $100 mn over 2018 article

Former US president Donald Trump on Tuesday filed a $100 million lawsuit against his estranged niece and The New York Times over a 2018 story about his family’s wealth and tax practices that was partly based on confidential documents she provided to the newspaper’s reporters. Trump’s lawsuit accuses Mary Trump of breaching a settlement agreement by disclosing tax records. The lawsuit accuses the Times and three of its investigative reporters, Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russell Buettner, of relentlessly seeking out Mary Trump as a source of information and convincing her to turn over documents.
