Passing of Maryanne Trump Barry, Donald Trump's Older Sister, at 86

Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald J. Trump, has passed away at the age of 86. A former federal judge, she played a significant role in both protecting and criticizing her brother throughout their lives. Ms. Barry retired from the bench in 2019 amidst inquiries into the family's tax practices. Despite their close relationship, a rift occurred in the final year of Donald Trump's presidency when audio recordings of Ms. Barry speaking critically about him were released by their niece. This marks another personal loss for Donald Trump, following the deaths of his younger brother and first wife in recent years.
