Attorneys for Donald Trump and his niece, Mary Trump, jointly told a judge on Tuesday, the day that depositions were supposed to be completed, that the adversaries have "reached a settlement."

"The parties are pleased to report they have reached a settlement and anticipate being able to stipulate to the dismissal of this action with prejudice in the ensuing weeks, following completion of certain conditions," a court filing said, asking New York Supreme Court Justice Robert Reed to adjourn a conference currently scheduled a week from now and to "direct the parties to report on the status of this case by July 1, 2026, in the event this action has yet to be discontinued."

The development comes weeks after Law&Crime reported on a significant discovery win by Mary Trump.

The New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division, First Department, ruled she was entitled as a matter of law to documents that could help her prove she was fraudulently induced into a 2001 Trump family settlement after Fred Trump Sr.'s death, raising the prospect of a "final resolution" in a long-running dispute.
