The $100m lawsuit accuses Mary Trump and New York Times of ‘insidious plot’ to obtain tax records.
Former United States President Donald Trump has filed a $100m lawsuit against his estranged niece Mary Trump and The New York Times newspaper, alleging they engaged in “an insidious plot” to obtain his tax returns for the paper’s Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation of his finances.
The lawsuit, filed in Dutchess County, New York state on Tuesday, says that New York Times reporters Susanne Craig, David Barstow and Russ Buettner conducted “an extensive crusade to obtain Donald J Trump’s confidential tax records”.
“The defendants engaged in an insidious plot to obtain confidential and highly sensitive records which they exploited for their own benefit and utilised as a means of falsely legitimising their publicised works,” the lawsuit says, alleging they were “motivated by a personal vendetta.”
