A judge in Dutchess County, New York, on Tuesday temporarily blocked publication of a tell-all book by president Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump that is currently scheduled for release July 28th. Mary Trump is the daughter of Fred Trump Jr, who died in 1981 and was estranged from his family. When the family patriarch, Fred Trump Sr, died some years later, his estate essentially cut out Fred Trump Jr’s children from any inheritance. Mary Trump and her brother, Fred Trump III, sued their uncles and an aunt, Maryanne, over the estate in 2000. The two sides eventually settled the case, and Mary Trump is said to have signed a confidentiality agreement.
