President Donald Trump settled a $100 million lawsuit against his niece, Mary Trump, for her part in leaking his confidential information to The New York Times as part of a bombshell investigation into the president’s tax filings.

“The parties are pleased to report they have reached a settlement and anticipate being able to stipulate to the dismissal of this action with prejudice in the ensuing weeks,” attorneys for both parties wrote in a joint letter to the judge ahead of a status hearing scheduled for Tuesday.

Lawyers for the president and his niece did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the terms of the settlement.
