Judge extends temporary restraining order against Mary Trump
Source: The Hill
A New York judge has extended a temporary restraining order against Mary Trump until Monday, a day before the release of her tell-all book about her uncle, President Trump, and his family.
Judge Hal Greenwald of Dutchess County Supreme Court on Friday extended the order, which was set to expire on Friday, until July 13 and rescheduled a court hearing on the matter to the same day.
Robert Trump, the presidents brother, has sought legal action to prevent Mary Trump from publishing the book, which he claims violates a nondisclosure agreement she signed along with other members of the Trump family.
The development does not put off the publication of the book, which publisher Simon & Schuster has set for Tuesday, but it will prevent Mary Trump from promoting the work at least through Monday.

Why are you wasting your money and time on a fool's errand? Is your brother promising you something? Since everything in your family seems to be transactional, what's the deal here?
Meanwhile, you're as much a fool as your brother.
