Judge Temporarily Blocks Tell-All Book By President Trump's Niece

Mary Trump's team has to explain why her book about the Trump family should be published as planned.

A New York state Supreme Court judge temporarily blocked the publication of a tell-all book written by President Donald Trump's niece.

The book, called "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man", was scheduled to be published on July 28. Now, Mary Trump and her publisher have to explain to a judge why it should go forward as planned. A hearing is scheduled for July 10. 

The president's younger brother, Robert Trump, originally filed a lawsuit to stop the book from being published in New York City, but a Queens County court dismissed the suit because it was out of its jurisdiction. 

The president's brother argues the book violates the terms of a nondisclosure agreement signed by the Trump family.
