Mary Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, that he is currently experiencing setbacks in his legal battles. Jen Taub conveyed, “Any day is a good day if Donald Trump is losing, and that was today.” She offered her sentiments, acknowledging the potential familial connection and expressing her lack of intent to cause offense.
During the conversation, Mary Trump, known for her outspoken criticism of her relative, sought insights into what she characterized as a “terrible day for Donald legally” involving three separate cases. Taub initiated her response by addressing a case related to defamation and sexual assault allegations. She pointed out that Trump has resisted the inclusion of the notorious Access Hollywood video as evidence, but the judge is set to allow its admission, particularly concerning intent and punitive damages in the defamation case.
Turning to the Mar-a-Lago case, Taub highlighted an alleged “discovery failure,” emphasizing her surprise at Trump’s failure to submit any documents—an occurrence she deemed unprecedented.
In the context of an immunity appeal hearing, Trump’s attorneys reportedly stumbled when asserting that ex-presidents would be immune from prosecution if they orchestrated an attack against a political adversary. Taub expressed concern, stating, “This is very scary. His lawyers made those arguments today,” suggesting that such assertions should be considered a potential legal transgression in themselves, even if she remained skeptical about the likelihood of the judges accepting such arguments.
