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

Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald Trump and a former federal judge, has passed away at the age of 86. She was found in her Fifth Avenue apartment in New York City with no signs of trauma or foul play. The cause of death is yet to be determined by a private doctor and the Medical Examiner.
Barry had a distinguished career in the judiciary. She was an assistant US attorney in 1974 before being appointed to the US district court for New Jersey by Ronald Reagan in 1983. In 1999, Barry was appointed to the US court of appeals for the third circuit, where she served as a senior judge until her retirement in 2019.
Her retirement came amid a civil misconduct inquiry into whether she participated in fraudulent tax schemes with her family in the 1990s. The inquiry followed a New York Times investigation that reported the Trump siblings hid millions of dollars of transfers from their father, Fred Trump, to avoid paying gift and inheritance taxes. The investigation was halted following her decision to step down.
Barry maintained a low profile during her brother's presidency. In 2020, their niece, Mary L. Trump, released an audio recording of Barry disparaging Donald Trump and calling him a liar. A spokesman for former President Trump declined to comment on her passing.
In 2018, a New York Times investigation prompted a formal complaint over whether Barry engaged in tax schemes in the 1990s.
