Donald Trump asked a New York state judge to throw out a lawsuit in which his niece accused the president and his siblings of conspiring to defraud her of tens of millions of dollars.
Mary Trump, the daughter of Trump’s late older brother Fred. Jr., waited too long to bring her allegations that she was swindled out of her stake in the family businesses, Trump said in a filing Wednesday in Manhattan. Moreover, she already settled with the family over similar claims in 2001, according to Trump.
