Charles Harder, a Beverly Hills, California-based attorney who is representing Robert Trump—the brother of President Donald Trump—in a lawsuit seeking to block publication of Mary Trump’s upcoming book about the president and his family, argued that Mary Trump is still bound by a confidentiality agreement even though her uncle has been elected president.
