Donald Trump sues niece Mary Trump, New York Times reporters over disclosure of tax documents
CNN
Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit in New York state court Tuesday against his niece Mary Trump, as well as several New York Times journalists, for the disclosure of his tax information that was published in several New York Times articles.
Trump's lawsuit -- which is seeking "damages in an amount to be determined at trial, but believed to be no less than One Hundred Million Dollars" -- alleges that Mary Trump's disclosure of the tax information to the Times amounted to an illegal breach of contract, among other claims, because the disclosure allegedly violated a 2001 settlement agreement among the Trump family.
The former president's lawsuit also accuses the Times' journalists of "tortious interference" with the settlement agreement, among other claims, in how they "relentlessly sought out Mary Trump and intentionally procured her breach of the Settlement Agreement." The Times' Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russ Buettner are named as defendants.
