EXCLUSIVE: How Donald Trump and two siblings cut off medical care for their nephew's severely disabled son – dismissing it as 'expensive babysitting' – in move that lies behind family rift with niece planning tell-all book
- Donald Trump, his brother Robert and sister Maryanne were hit with a lawsuit from their nephew Fred III and niece Mary in 2000
- The siblings, who are children of Donald's late brother Fred Jr., filed suit for wrongful termination of medical benefits and coverage
- It arose after Fred III's son William was born with a seizure disorder known as 'Infantile Spasm', which requires regular injections and constant monitoring
- Family patriarch Fred Trump Sr. had agreed to pay for Fred Jr. family's health insurance after he died in 1982, according to the siblings
- But they were suddenly cut off by the Trumps who acted in 'retaliation' for them challenging the will of Fred Trump Sr, who died in 1999
- In legal papers, Donald, Robert and Maryanne Trump lay out their reasons for refusing to pay for the healthcare of their disabled infant great nephew William
- The Trumps claimed William didn't actually need 24/7 care - which they dismissed as 'expensive babysitting' - despite his frequent seizures
- The lawsuit was eventually settled and the terms unknown, but created a deep rift between the Trump siblings and their niece and nephew
- The family dispute was put back into the public eye this week when it emerged that Mary is writing a tell-all about the Trump family - a book the president is saying she is not allowed to publish
