Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against his niece Mary Trump, as well as several New York Times journalists, for the disclosure of his tax information that was published in several articles.
Trump's lawsuit -- which is seeking"damages in an amount to be determined at trial, but believed to be no less than One Hundred Million Dollars" -- alleges that Mary Trump's disclosure of the tax information to the Times amounted to an illegal breach of contract, among other claims, because the disclosure allegedly violated a 2001 settlement agreement among the Trump family.
"In a statement, a spokesperson for the Times said the newspaper's"coverage of Donald Trump's taxes helped inform citizens through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest. This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations and we plan to vigorously defend against it.
