She died (discovered dead in the bedroom) at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, according to the latest reports. Two of them said the police were called to the home early Monday morning. Though none of the people specified a cause. A spokesman for Mr. Trump did not respond to a request for comment. Mr. Trump seemed to heed the words of few people as much as he did his eldest sister’s, according to confidants. But their relationship suffered a significant fissure in the final year of his presidency.
Prominent New York property developer Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump’s eldest daughter Barry became an assistant US attorney in 1974. Her appointment to the federal bench was aided by Donald Trump’s best lawyer Roy M Cohn. Barry retired from the federal bench in 2019. She married twice, first to David Desmond, with whom she had one son, and then to John Joseph Barry, who died in 2000.
It is reported that Barry, who allegedly benefited financially, was able to use her position of power to benefit her family. She was long said to be close to her younger brother, but his rise to power and chaotic White House term seemed to change the relationship.
Mrs Barry was close to Donald Trump for decades. She was one of the few people whose advice he sought. But in 2020, the last year of Trump’s term in the White House, his niece Mary Trump released recordings of Mrs Barry speaking critically about the then-president. She described the US president as cruel and a liar whose lack of principles meant he could not be trusted.
