New York City
Robert Trump passed away today in New York City. Robert was the youngest brother of President Trump, and once worked in his casinos. The White House has yet to provide an official comment, but will do so later tonight, or tomorrow morning.
Robert was admitted to the hospital earlier this week, where he was listed as being in critical condition. During an earlier Press Briefing today, when his brother was still living, the President had this to say,
“I have a wonderful brother. We’ve had a great relationship for a long time, from day one. It’s a long time ago. And he’s in the hospital right now. And hopefully he’ll be alright, but he is pretty — he’s having a hard time.”

Unfortunately, Robert passed away before the President could visit him in the hospital. The family has yet to make an official statement, but sources close to the family say they are devastated, and would like space as they collect themselves.
The exact cause of death is still unknown, but sources at the hospital say heart failure was the most likely cause. An official announcement of the cause of death is likely to come tomorrow.
