The former president filed a $100 million lawsuit against his estranged niece and The New York Times, alleging they engaged in ’an insidious plot’ to obtain his tax returns.
The newspaper's story alleged that Trump had received more than $400 million in today's terms from his father's real estate empire, much of it through fraudulent tax schemes.
Trump's 27-page lawsuit asserts that the New York Times reporters"relentlessly sought out his niece, Mary L Trump, and convinced her to smuggle the records out of her attorney's office and turn them over to The Times." The former president is seeking $100 million in compensation and damages, as well as all the proceeds from his niece's book."It's desperation. The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that he thinks will stick," she said.Trump is under investigation in New York for tax fraud and other alleged wrongdoings relating to the financial activities of his Trump Organization.
