President Trump’s sister said she begged her brother to stop tweeting, and wishes someone would just make him stop.

“Cut off his Twitter account,” Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, 83, said in a recording obtained by VICE News. “I said that to him about, six months, a year ago. ‘Get rid of Twitter. Stop this.’”

The comments came in a conversation with Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, who surreptitiously recorded them sometime between late 2018 and early 2019. The existence of several hours worth of Mary Trump’s private audiotapes was first revealed by The Washington Post on Saturday. But the Post didn’t include the audio of Maryanne talking about begging her brother to let go of his famous Twitter habit.

The recordings are emerging weeks after Mary published a damning tell-all book about President Trump’s family history and mental state that relies heavily on direct quotes from her aunt, Maryanne.
