NEW YORK, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has settled his lawsuit accusing his niece Mary Trump of improperly leaking information to the New York Times for its Pulitzer Prize-winning 2018 probe into his finances and his alleged effort to avoid taxes.
Both sides announced a settlement in a letter filed on Tuesday with a New York state court in Manhattan, and expect to seek a formal dismissal in the coming weeks.
No terms were disclosed. A dismissal would be with prejudice, meaning the U.S. president could not sue again.
Lawyers for Donald Trump and Mary Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The White House referred a request for comment to the president's lawyers.
