President Trump's Sister Retires As Federal Judge In Philadelphia Amid Report Of Family Scheme To Dodge Taxes

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump's sister has retired as a federal appellate judge in Philadelphia, ending a misconduct inquiry launched after a report that she participated in Trump family schemes to dodge taxes. The retirement of Maryanne Trump Barry was revealed in an April 1 order signed by a top court official in New York, where the misconduct case was assigned.

A judicial panel began the review in response to citizen complaints after The New York Times published a story alleging the president and his siblings evaded inheritance taxes.

The April 1 order said Barry's voluntary retirement ends the review.

Barry didn't respond to an email seeking comment.

Trump has called the Times expose a false "hit piece."
