<p>Former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry can be heard condemning Ivanka Trump, the president's adviser and second child, the president's son Eric as well as Mr Trump himself.</p><p>Mrs Trump Berry criticises Ivanka after she posted a photo on Instagram of herself and her young son on the same day the <strong><a href="https://news.sky.com/topic/donald-trump-5711" target="_blank">Trump</a></strong> administration was reportedly separating migrant children from their families in 2018.</p><p>Referring to a comedian who denounced Ivanka's photo, she said: "When that damn Ivanka puts this picture, of the Madonna and Child, on Instagram, when the big news of the day was about children being ripped from their families, I couldn't blame.</p><p>"I never heard of Samantha Bee before. I couldn't blame what she said."</p><p>Bee used an <strong><a href="https://news.sky.com/story/samantha-bee-regrets-inexcusable-slur-about-ivanka-trump-11391592" target="_blank">obscenity to describe Ivanka</a></strong>, and has since apologised.</p><p>Mr Trump's niece, Mary Trump, released the secretly recorded conversation between her and Mrs Trump Barry on Friday.</p><p>In the recording, the pair continued to talk about Ivanka, with Mr Trump's sister saying: "Ivanka gives a s***. It's all about her.</p><p>"She's a mini-Donald," she said, adding the president is "besotted with her. He always has been. She's always been his favourite".</p><p>Moving onto Eric Trump, the president's second son, Mrs Trump Barry had a few choice words about him.</p><p>"Meanwhile, Eric's become the moron publicly," she can be heard saying.</p> <p>And she is no less relentless when it comes to her brother, saying he "won't do anything for anybody unless it's going to enure to his...".</p><p>Mrs Barry Trump can be heard adding: "He won't do anything publicly. I mean, if you...Anything he did, he says, 'Look what I've done! Aren't I wonderful!</p><p>"And he's as tight as a duck's a**. Just like dad, really."</p><p>The aunt and niece also spoke about Mr Trump's action on Dreamers - people who were brought to the US illegally as children who can receive deferred deportation and can become eligible for a US work permit - an initiative brought in by Barack Obama.</p><p>"Well, what happened, what he did with the Dreamers. I mean," Mrs Barry Trump said.</p><p>"But he denies it. I mean, he would deny he changed his mind.</p><p>"He's all over..."</p> <p>Mary Trump then says there are children in "de facto concentration camps" and the president blames the Democrats for the "horrible policy" which "suggested that he thinks it's a bad thing - and yet he's allowing it to continue".</p><p>Mrs Barry Trump replies: "It's mind-boggling. But that's all about his base."</p><p>Mary Trump, who is the daughter of the president's older brother Fred Trump Jr, says she made the recordings in 2018 and 2019.</p><p>She recently published a book entitled: "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man".</p> <p><strong>:: Listen to the Daily podcast on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sky-news-daily/id951048357?mt=2" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvMzI4NzI0Ni9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk" target="_blank">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3RdXZrbbG3NydLsPYmRSJy" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/sky-news-daily" target="_blank">Spreaker</a></strong></p><p>The latest series of recordings were released a week after Mary Trump released another clip in which Mrs Trump Barry said her brother had "no principles" and was a "liar".</p><p>Mary Trump's spokesman said she began recording conversations with Mrs Trump Barry in 2018 to catch her family members in a lie over the value of the family's estate.</p><p>In New York state it is legal to record a conversation as long as at least one participant gives consent.</p>
