Former US President Donald Trump is suing his niece and the New York Times over a 2018 article that alleged he was involved in “dubious tax schemes”.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The lawsuit, filed in New York, accuses Mary Trump and newspaper reporters of being “engaged in an insidious plot” to obtain confidential documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It alleges that Ms Trump, 56, breached a settlement agreement barring her from disclosing the documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In response, Ms Trump said the lawsuit was a sign of “desperation”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that will stick,”\u00a0she told the Daily Beast<\/a>. “As is always the case with Donald, he’ll try and change the subject.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ms Trump revealed herself as the source of the story in a tell-all memoir in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Trump has consistently rejected the claims made in his niece’s book – Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man – and unsuccessfully sued to try to block its publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
