Donald Trump’s Sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, Dies At 86

Donald Trump’s older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, has died at 86 years old.
Barry, who was a former federal judge and an attorney, died in her home in New York City on the Upper East Side.
On Monday morning, police officers were called to her home. A cause of death has not been released, and Trump has not offered any comments on his sister’s death.
Former President Ronald Reagan chose Barry to serve on New Jersey’s Federal District Court in 1983. Trump’s lawyer, Roy M. Cohn, helped her get the appointment.
In 1999, President Bill Clinton nominated her to serve on the Third Court of Appeals, which she worked on until 2019 when she retired.
Her retirement coincided with her being investigated by a court due to a New York Times article that accused Trump and his siblings of inflating their inheritances through tax schemes.
Due to her retirement, the investigation ended.
