However, examiners stressed there were no signs of trauma.
The 86-year-old had a coveted legal career, holding top judicial positions under both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton.
Barry became an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey in 1974, becoming one of only two women out of more than 60 lawyers in the office.
The 45th President’s sister, who was the eldest of Frederick Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod’s five children, retired from her position as a federal judge in 2019 after an investigation into tax fraud.

However, she was usually supportive of his business endeavours.
Despite tending to back her brother, Barry was caught in 2018 saying he has “no principles” and blasting his “goddamn tweets and lying”.
An audio recording, obtained by the Washington Post and recorded by Trump’s niece Mary, also showed Barry adding: “All he wants to do is appeal to his base.
“He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
