Maryanne Trump Barry (formerly Desmond; born April 5, 1937) is an attorney and an inactive Senior United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She is the older sister of President Donald Trump.
She was born Maryanne Trump in 5 April 1937 in Queens in New York City, to real-estate developer Fred Trump and Mary MacLeod Trump. She is the elder sister of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
Trump received her B.A. in political science/government from Mount Holyoke College in 1958, and an M.A. from Columbia University in 1962.
She later returned to graduate school to study law, earning her J.D. from Hofstra University School of Law in 1974.
Trump passed the bar exam and began practicing as an attorney. She held some public service positions, including as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. She changed her surname to Barry after her second marriage in 1982.
After working as an attorney for nine years, Barry was nominated by President Ronald Reagan on September 14, 1983, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by Henry Curtis Meanor. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 6, 1983, and received her commission the next day.
A Republican, Barry was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by Democratic President Bill Clinton on June 17, 1999, to replace H. Lee Sarokin, who had retired in 1996. Clinton had nominated Robert Raymar to the seat in 1998, but that nomination was never given a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Raymar's nomination expired at the end of that year. During the next congressional term, Clinton nominated Barry to the position.
