President Donald Trump's brother has asked a New York court to prohibit their niece from publishing a book about the Trump family, citing a non-disclosure agreement Mary Trump signed as part of a settlement over the will of her grandfather.
Robert Trump, 72, has asked the Queens County Surrogate's Court for a temporary restraining order against Mary Trump, 55, the daughter of the deceased eldest Trump brother, Fred Trump Jr., and Simon & Schuster to keep them from publishing "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," according to The New York Times.
The book is scheduled for a July 28 release.
The non-disclosure agreement was signed in 2001 to settle Fred Trump Sr.'s will of at least $20 million, which specifically was not shared with Fred Jr., who died in 1981 of a heart attack due to alcoholism, and his children, Fred III and Mary.
Fred III and Mary Trump sued, claiming President Trump and his siblings exerted "undue influence" over Fred Trump Sr., who had dementia, to disinherit them.
Following the revelation of his niece's book, President Trump called the agreement Mary Trump signed "very powerful" and added it "covers everything."
The Washington Examiner said the book is expected to reveal Mary Trump provide confidential documents to The New York Times, which wrote and article about what it called the family's "legally dubious" tax schemes in the 1990s.
The book also apparently claims President Trump "dismissed and derided" his father when he started to decline from Alzheimer's.
President Trump has derided the accusation as "totally false" and "a disgraceful thing to say."
