Maryanne Trump Barry, former federal judge and sister to Donald Trump, passed away at 86, reported by The New York Times.
Barry, found dead in her Upper East Side Manhattan home on Monday morning, was a former federal judge in New Jersey. She retired in 2019 amid investigations into the Trump family’s financial dealings. Two people close to the situation informed NYT about her demise.
A veteran trial and appellate lawyer, John Barry, was Maryanne’s husband. The couple had been a part of multiple inquiries related to alleged tax fraud and financial transactions within the Trump family.
Despite their once-close relationship, tensions arose between Donald Trump and his sister after their niece, Mary L. Trump, released a family memoir. Maryanne, featured critically in audio recordings, became a focal point of discord between the siblings. The passing marks the end of a chapter in the complex dynamics of the Trump family.
