President Trump's brother, Robert Trump, asked a court on Tuesday to block the publication of a tell-all book written by their niece, Mary Trump, The New York Times reports.
Robert Trump filed a request in New York for a temporary restraining order against Mary Trump and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, arguing that she is violating a nondisclosure agreement signed in 2001, following a settlement over the estate of her grandfather, Fred Trump Sr. In an interview with Axios last week, the president said his niece signed a "very powerful" nondisclosure agreement, and she is "not allowed to write a book."
