Overview
- The parties filed a joint letter with a New York state court on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, saying they have reached a settlement in the yearslong dispute.
- Lawyers said they expect to stipulate to a dismissal with prejudice in the coming weeks after completing agreed conditions, which would bar the same claim from being refiled.
- No financial or other terms of the settlement were disclosed in the court filing and both sides declined immediate public comment.
- The suit, filed by President Trump in 2021 seeking $100 million, alleged Mary Trump violated a 2001 Fred Trump Sr. estate confidentiality provision by supplying tax-related material to The New York Times.
- Earlier rulings left key parts of the case on the record: a judge dismissed Trump’s claims against the Times and ordered him to pay reporters’ fees in 2023, and a 2024 appeals court said the confidentiality claim had legal force but suggested only nominal damages might be appropriate.
