A woman in Ankara has drawn international attention after filing legal petitions claiming she is a previously unknown daughter of Donald Trump, asking the courts to order a paternity test and formally examine her allegations. The case, brought by 55-year-old Necla Ozmen, centers on her belief that her biological identity was concealed for decades and that the U.S. president may be her father.
According to her legal filing, Ozmen says she was born in 1970 and officially registered as the daughter of Sati and Dursun Ozmen. She claims that years later she learned she had been adopted and that the woman who raised her revealed this information in 2017. Ozmen argues that events surrounding her birth involved a hospital mix-up in which another newborn was placed in her familyās care after a stillbirth.
Her account further alleges that an American woman identified only as Sophia had given birth at the same hospital and handed over her child under unusual circumstances. Ozmen believes that this woman later indicated the baby resulted from a secret relationship involving Trump, even allegedly showing a photograph of him at the time. No independent evidence has been publicly presented to support that version of events.
Trump, meanwhile, is publicly known as the father of five children. His family includes Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Barron Trump. Barron, now 19, is his only child with Melania Trump.
In recent years, Trump and his family have often highlighted Barronās influence during the 2024 campaign, especially his encouragement that his father appear on podcasts aimed at younger voters šļø. Eric Trump later credited that media strategy with helping broaden support among younger demographics.
Ozmen says her goal is not confrontation but clarity. She has publicly stated that she simply wants to know the truth and hopes Trump would agree to a DNA test š§¬. A court has reportedly dismissed her initial lawsuit because of insufficient evidence, but she is appealing the decision and has also submitted petitions to U.S. courts āļø.
