Explosive court papers containing embarrassing details about Ivana Trump’s divorce from Donald have been abruptly concealed after a Daily News inquiry — all without a judge’s order.
The dusty documents stored in a box in the clerk’s office of Manhattan Supreme Court contain allegations that Trump “verbally abused and demeaned” his ex-wife. Ivana alleged that he “lied” and that his treatment of her was “cruel and inhuman.”
In the end, it was “unsafe or improper for them to be married,” the papers charge.
That’s the information The News was able to get. But over 100 pages of documents in the case filed in 1990 — including key portions of a sworn deposition from Ivana — are missing.
“My inquiry so far has suggested that this file ... was a matrimonial case and should have been sealed. How and why you and reportedly others have had access to it is now in question and has now been referred to the Inspector General’s office,” (the judge) said.
