On 2 November 1986, Madame Nhu charged the United States with hounding her family during the arrest of her younger brother, Trần Văn Khiêm, who was charged in the strangling deaths of their parents in their Washington, D.C. home after being cut out of their will. In 1993, she sued her parents' insurance company to prevent it from awarding their death benefit because she contested the validity of their wills.
