(Daily Beast) The presidents niece Mary Trump is set to publish a tell-all this summerand to reveal that she was a primary source for The New York Times investigation into Trumps taxes.
Donald Trumps niece, his deceased brothers daughter, is set to publish a tell-all book this summer that will detail harrowing and salacious stories about the president, according to people with knowledge of the project.
Mary Trump, 55, the daughter of Fred Trump Jr. and eldest grandchild of Fred Trump Sr., is scheduled to release Too Much And Never Enough on Aug. 11, just weeks before the Republican National Convention.
One of the most explosive revelations Mary will detail in the book, according to people familiar with the matter, is how she played a critical role helping The New York Times print startling revelations about Trumps taxes, including how he was involved in fraudulent tax schemes and had received more than $400 million in todays dollars from his fathers real estate empire.
As she is set to outline in her book, Mary was a primary source for the paper's Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation, supplying Fred Trump Sr.s tax returns and other highly confidential family financial documentation to the paper.

The book is sure to send shock waves through Washington and the Trump family just months before the election and it comes hot on the heels of John Boltons much-anticipated memoir. But unlike all the books by former Trump staffers, this is the first time a Trump family member has written a tell-all that is highly critical of the president.
The bad blood between President Trump and his niece dates back 20 years to the fight over Fred Trump Sr.s will and the actions he took to cut off financial and medical support for her brothers ill child. Now that feud is about to spill out into the public eye during a critical election year, with the president struggling to shore up his plummeting popularity.
My aunt and uncles should be ashamed of themselves, Mary Trump said about Donald Trump and his siblings in that rare 2000 interview, which provides a preview of the tone of her book. I'm sure they are not.

(16,616 posts)This story is given quite a bit of weight by Dr. Jerrold Post in forming his profile of Trump in his book Dangerous Charisma: The Political Psychology of Donald Trump and His Followers
It's truly an appalling story that stands out in a lifelong timeline of abominations.
