The president of the United States attacked his niece in a series of tweets on Friday, claiming that she's a liar but also that she's revealing information that violates a non-disclosure agreement.
Amid a surge in coronavirus cases, President Trump spent Friday evening apparently mad, online, about a new book from his niece Mary Trump.
Describing her as a "seldom seen niece who knows little about me," Trump accused his relative of saying "untruthful things about my wonderful parents (who couldn't stand her!)" — despite the purportedly minimal contact — "and me," he tweeted. The president also claimed that his niece "violated her NDA."
On Thursday, Mary Trump appeared on MSNBC to discuss her new tell-all work, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man." Nearly one million copies of the book have already been sold.
In the appearance, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow asked her if she had ever heard her uncle, Donald Trump, use the N-word and anti-Semitic slurs.
"Yeah, of course, I did," she responded. "I don't think that should surprise anybody given how virulently racist he is today."
The White House has both denied Trump's use of the racial slurs and the contents of the book.
