Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is celebrating a minor victory, as a New York judge let his case against his niece Mary Trump proceed the day after Mr. Trump announced his federal indictment.
On Friday, Judge Robert R. Reed, a New York state judge, denied Mary Trump’s motion to dismiss a case brought by the former president alleging she violated a confidentiality agreement from 2001 involving the estate of his father.“Plaintiff has established, at least at this pre-discovery stage, ‘a substantial basis in law’ for the pursuit of such claim,” the judge wrote.
Alina Habba, an attorney for Mr. Trump, said they plan to hold Ms. Trump accountable for her “blatant breach of confidentiality obligations.”“Mary Trump had already received a lucrative settlement in the estate proceedings, but she greedily sought to exploit the situation further by disclosing confidential information in violation of an agreement that she freely signed.
Mr. Trump has also been indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for alleged hush money he paid to porn star Stormy Daniels prior to him taking office in 2017.
