Donald Trump Allowed to Sue Niece Over Confidentiality Breach

New York appeals court rules Trump can pursue legal action against Mary Trump for sharing financial information with The New York Times.

The court found a substantial legal basis for Trump's claim that Mary Trump violated a 2001 confidentiality agreement.
Mary Trump provided information for a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2018 article on Donald Trump's finances.
The ruling upheld a previous decision dismissing Trump's claims against The New York Times and its reporters.
Trump originally sought $100 million in damages but may only receive nominal damages if successful.
Mary Trump's legal team argues her disclosures were protected free speech and that Trump suffered no harm from the truthful information.
