This week, reports surfaced that President Donald Trump has reached a settlement in the dispute against his niece. Both parties announced the settlement in a joint filing Tuesday, according to court documents.

“The parties are pleased to report that they have reached a settlement and anticipate being able to stipulate to the dismissal of this action with prejudice in the ensuing weeks, following completion of certain conditions precedent,” the letter states.

Details regarding the terms of the settlement were not made public, but a formal dismissal is expected in coming weeks. The dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning Donald Trump could not sue again in the future.

The lawsuit was first filed in 2021 and centered on an article published in 2018 about Donald Trump’s finances. It reported that Fred Trump had given his son at least $413 million over the years through tax-avoidance schemes, and it went on to win a Pulitzer Prize.

Mary Trump was accused of improperly providing records to the publication for the article. Court documents filed by Trump’s lawyers described the leak as a “blatant breach” of a settlement agreement. Mary Trump’s attorneys argued in court filings that the lawsuit was “baseless” and should have been dismissed.

In their legal brief, Mary Trump’s lawyers wrote: “Mr. Trump wields the confidentiality provision as if it were virtually unlimited in scope and time, precluding speech on issues that became of central public concern once he first ran for President of the United States. His interpretation is unreasonable and has already been rejected by Dutchess County Supreme Court Justice Greenwald.”

The complaint stated that Mary Trump revealed details about the disclosure in her 2020 book, “Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.”

In 2023, part of the lawsuit was dismissed, with claims against the publication and reporters being dropped. However, in 2024, a New York court allowed the claims against Mary Trump to proceed and held that there was a “substantial” basis for Donald Trump’s claim.

The appeals court at the time also suggested that if Donald Trump wins the case, he might only be awarded “nominal” damages against his niece rather than the $100 million he sought.
