Donald Trump has dropped his $100 million lawsuit against his niece for allegedly handing confidential records to reporters probing his tax affairs.
The 80-year-old president had sued Mary Trump, 61, along with the New York Times and several of the newspaper’s reporters in September 2021, accusing them of an “insidious plot” to pry loose his private financial records that was motivated by “a personal vendetta and their desire to gain fame.”
Both sides asked the judge to toss the case with prejudice, a step that would bar the president from ever reviving the claim. Neither side has disclosed the financial terms, with a formal dismissal expected in the coming weeks.
The climbdown comes after Trump already lost his case against the Times and its reporters. A New York judge, Justice Robert Reed, in 2023 threw out the case—in which Trump alleged the journalists had “relentlessly sought out” his niece to make her “smuggle” the records to the paper.
You mean the Donald who lost the war with Iran lost this case, too?
Losers gonna lose.
He’s definitely the best person at losing. Many fine people are saying so. Nobody else loses as well and as often as he does.
My nieces all love me. (Nephews too)
I can’t imagine ever doing anything that would piss any of them off enough to turn on me lol.
Makes one think…
JERRY, JERRY, JERRY!
