Court Rejects Claim That Donald Trump Is Turkish Woman’s Biological Father
A court in Ankara has dismissed a paternity lawsuit filed by a 55-year-old woman who claimed that her biological father is Donald John Trump, citing a lack of concrete evidence. The woman has announced that she will appeal the ruling.
Necla Özmen, who lives in Ankara, filed a paternity lawsuit on September 25 with the Ankara 27th Family Court, alleging that her biological father is U.S. President Donald Trump. In her petition, Özmen stated that she was born in 1970 and is officially registered as the daughter of Satı and Dursun Özmen.
Özmen claimed that the man listed as her father, Dursun Özmen, passed away in 2009, and that the woman who raised her, Satı Özmen, revealed the truth in 2017. According to Özmen, she was told that her biological mother was a U.S. citizen named Sophia, who allegedly became pregnant as a result of a relationship with Trump and later gave the baby to Satı Özmen after delivering a stillborn child.
Özmen requested a DNA test to determine paternity
In its decision dated October 10, the court ruled that the claim was not supported by any tangible evidence. The ruling stated that the deficiencies in the lawsuit were substantive rather than procedural, meaning the court could not grant time to correct them. The court emphasized that a trial cannot be conducted based on claims and evidence that were not properly presented, and therefore rejected the case.
“I just want to know the truth”
Speaking after the ruling, Özmen said she has filed an appeal and has also submitted petitions to the U.S. Embassy and courts in the United States. She reiterated that her aim is not to cause harm, but simply to learn whether Trump is her biological father.
“I only want to know the truth,” Özmen said. “If he agrees, this can be clarified with a DNA test. I would like to speak with him. I believe he is a good father and that he would not turn his back on me.”
Özmen added that she is awaiting the outcome of the appeal process.
