to keep Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump Jr. from being forced to sit for depositions related to the New York attorney general’s civil investigation into the Trump Organization, and just as the House committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capital laid out
against the former president, the legally embattled Trump family has re-listed an oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach at $59 million, a whopping ten million bucks more than was asked last year when it was briefly available at $49 million., the home had long been owned by Trump’s older sister, retired federal appeals judge Maryanne Trump Barry, who purchased the property in 2004 for $11.25 million. Barry initially put the place up for sale in late 2017 at $22.
About 2.5 years later, Barry’s niece, Mary L. Trump, surreptitiously recorded hours of conversations with Barry in which, it was later revealed via, Barry lacerated her younger brother, calling him “cruel” and saying, “He has no principles. None.” She went on to say, “You can’t trust him.” Ouch. Maybe it’s not such a surprise, then, Trump and his kids no longer wish to own Judge Barry’s former home.
Situated amid sculpted plantings, across the street from Mar-a-Lago and next door to the private resort’s oceanfront beach club and 132-foot-long swimming pool, the almost 8,300-square-foot Bermuda-style mansion dates to the mid-1950s but has been extensively updated since. A comparison of promo materials from when the house was last sold in 2018 suggest some basic cosmetic improvements have been made but otherwise it’s not clear what justifies the $40 million price increase in just four years.
