Maryanne Trump Barry – the older sister of former US President Donald Trump and a former federal judge – has died at the age of 86.

According to the media reports, the news has been confirmed by the former president’s son on Monday. Donald Trump Jr. told reporters outside a courthouse in Manhattan where he was testifying in his father’s civil fraud trial, “As I pulled up here this morning, I found out my aunt passed away. I’m very close with her grandson, we hang out all the time, and so it’s obviously a rough day for that, but unfortunately, it is what it is.”
