President Donald Trump’s older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, retired as a federal appellate judge earlier this year and thereby ended an investigation into whether she broke judicial conduct rules by allegedly engaging in tax fraud, The New York Times reported.

As part of her retirement from the federal bench, Barry is entitled to receive ongoing compensation of more than $180,000 a year. Read the full story at The New York Times.
