Family deal holds up Donald Trump ‘tell-all’ book
A tell-all book by Donald Trump’s niece cannot be published until a judge decides the merits of claims that it would violate a family pact.
A tell-all book by Donald Trump’s niece cannot be published until a judge decides the merits of claims by the President’s brother that its publication would violate a pact among family members.
New York state Supreme Court judge Hal Greenwald issued an order requiring Mary Trump and her publisher to explain why they should not be blocked from publishing the book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man. A hearing was set for July 10.
The book was written by the daughter of Fred Trump Jr, the President’s elder brother who died in 1981. An online description of it says it reveals “a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse”.
Robert Trump argues Ms Trump must comply with a written agreement among family members that such a book cannot be published without permission from other family members.
