Trump's brother files new lawsuit to block niece's book [View all]

President Trump's brother filed a new lawsuit to block the publication of their niece's upcoming book about the president after a judge in another court blocked his efforts.

Robert Trump's newest suit, filed in the Dutchess County Supreme Court in New York, alleges that Mary Trump's tell-all book would violate a nondisclosure agreement.

The suit hinges around a 2001 agreement signed after a legal battle over Fred Trump Sr.'s will, with Robert Trump saying the agreement bars members of the family from writing about their relationships with each other.
