US President Donald Trump’s niece has filed a lawsuit accusing him and two family members of fraud and conspiracy.
Mary Trump claims that Mr. Trump, his sister Maryanne Trump Barry, and his brother Robert Trump who died in August cheated on them of an inheritance.
Ms. Trump, who published a comprehensive memoir on the president in July, is seeking to reclaim millions of dollars that she allegedly lost.
Neither Mr Trump nor his siblings have made any public statements on the matter.

The lawsuit alleges that following the death of her father, Fred Trump Jr. in 1981, Mary Trump “inherited valuable minority interests in the family business” and that “Donald, Maryanne and Robert have pledged to watch over their interests as trustees.”
“They lied. Instead of protecting Mary’s interests, they designed and implemented a complex program to suck funds away from her interests and hide her grip [fraud]and deceive her of the true worth of what she inherited, “the court document says.
