In 2016, Trump called his sister a “highly respected judge” while noting they disagree on public policy issues.
Four years later, Trump dismissed secret audio recordings released of Barry saying he had “no principles” and was “cruel.”
“Every day it’s something else, who cares?” Trump said in a statement at the time, according to the Washington Post.
The recordings of Barry were made by Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, who published a scathing tell-all book on the president and their family.
During her legal career, Barry worked as a federal prosecutor before being nominated by then-President Ronald Reagan to the Federal District Court in New Jersey in 1983. In 1999, then-President Bill Clinton appointed her to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Barry was known for her intelligence, integrity, and dedication to the law.
She was also a strong advocate for women’s rights and social justice.
