Trump Settles Lawsuit With Niece Over Tax Records

By EC Assets · Published 17 June 2026

Donald Trump has settled a lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, regarding the publication of his tax records. The former president accused his niece of colluding with journalists to publicize his financial information. He claimed Mary Trump, now 61 years old, “smuggled” his financial records. This alleged action violated a decades-old agreement. The lawsuit centered on accusations that Mary Trump improperly obtained and shared Donald Trump's tax records. Donald Trump had accused his niece of taking these documents from an attorney's office. This settlement closes a legal dispute concerning the dissemination of his personal financial data. Litigation activity has seen a downturn under the Trump administration. This trend is continuing, with most matters settling through mediation. This specific settlement involves a family dispute over financial privacy. Several items remain topics of discussion for Donald Trump. Trump’s Iran agreement dominated the G7 summit, though details remain unclear. President Trump suggested that oil prices could fall “like a rock.” Some economists, however, offer a different view. They say a decline may be gradual. If it takes two to three months to settle, inflationary pressures could persist. This article is intended for informational purposes only.
