Donald Trump's niece Mary L. Trump's book should have been prevented. But now it appears two weeks earlier than planned.
The Donald Trump unveiling book by Mary L. Trump (born 1965), the niece of the US President, is due to be released on July 14, according to Simon & Schuster. So far, July 28th had been announced as the release date for "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man" (Ger. "Too much and never enough: How my family created the most dangerous man in the world").
In early July, a New York Court of Appeals partially overturned a tentative publication ban for Mary Trump's disclosure book previously issued by another U.S. court. Robert Trump (born 1948), another of the author's uncles, had sued to stop the book from being published. With the book, Mary Trump allegedly violated a confidentiality agreement from 2001. However, this statement did not apply to the Simon & Schuster publishing group, the court ruled. For Mary Trump herself, the ban continues until an upcoming hearing on July 10.
Mary Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump's older brother Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981. According to the publisher, Mary Trump wants to shed light on "the dark history of her family" in the 240-page disclosure book. The niece of the US president described in the book "a nightmare of trauma, destructive relationships and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse".
