NEW YORK - A New York state appeals court said Donald Trump can sue his niece Mary Trump for giving the New York Times information for its Pulitzer Prize-winning 2018 probe into his finances and his alleged effort to avoid taxes.

"At a minimum, nominal damages may still be available on the breach of contract claim even in the absence of actual damages," the court said. Donald Trump had sought $100 million.They had argued that Donald Trump's lawsuit violated a state law to stop litigation designed to"chill and retaliate against" free speech, including communications with the press.

In November 2022, Reed dismissed Mary Trump's separate lawsuit accusing her uncle and two of his siblings of defrauding her out of a multi-million-dollar inheritance.It said he received the equivalent of $413 million from his father, largely the result of"dubious" tax schemes in the 1990s, including undervaluing his family's real estate holdings. Donald Trump has denied wrongdoing.
