Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against his niece Mary Trump, The New York Times, and three of the newspaper's reporters, accusing them of devising an "insidious plot" to get his private tax records for an article, The Daily Beast reports.
In response, Mary Trump told The Daily Beast she thinks her uncle is "a f--king loser, and he is going to throw anything against the wall he can. It's desperation. The walls are closing in and he is throwing anything against the wall that will stick. As is always the case with Donald, he'll try and change the subject."
