The journalists convinced Mary Trump "to smuggle the records out of her attorney's office and turn them over to The Times," the lawsuit claims.

It seeks an award of at least $100 million, an amount which Trump's lawsuit alleges he sustained in damages as a result of the Times' actions.

Mary Trump revealed in her own book that she had provided documents to the Times.

Look for msm sob stories about poor Mary being harassed by her cruel uncle in the next few weeks, especially so right before next election too

The left always attack others, then tick tail and scream about persecution when the ones they attack fight back

Doesn't that make the Times an accomplice to a crime?

I believe I read elsewhere that she had challenged her grandmother’s will, and obtained DJT’s records as part of that lawsuit through discovery. The records were confidential, and maintained by the attorneys representing her in the challenge to the will. If true, if I was the law firm, I’d be a bit worried that they allowed her to remove them from the office.

If we had a justice system, they would be worried. But I doubt justice will be done.
