According to the ABC News channel, the first media to mention a hospitalization of the president's brother, Robert Trump would be “very sick”, according to several sources interviewed by the channel. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told ABC News that Donald Trump had "a very good relationship" with his brother and that he would give details to the media later. The nature of the disease is not known. In June, Robert Trump was hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City for more than a week.
Robert Trump was a former leader of the conglomerate "The Trump Organization". He grabbed the headlines recently after filing a temporary restraining order in an attempt to block publication of a book by Mary Trump, the daughter of the late Fred Trump, one of the president's four brothers. The Trump family had denounced the publication of this book which they said would be a violation of a non-disclosure agreement signed by Mary Trump in exchange for a financial settlement.
