Melania Trump Threatens $1Billion Lawsuit Against Biden’s Son, Hunter, Over Epstein Claim

The wife of the United States President, Melania Trump, has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1 billion after he claimed she was introduced to her husband by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Hunter Biden is the son of the immediate past president of the United States of America, Joe Biden.

However, the first lady, through her lawyers, demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump.”

Hunter Biden made the comments during an interview in which he strongly criticised the president’s former ties to Epstein.

According to MailOnline, the younger Biden had echoed claims first made by Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff, who appeared on a Daily Beast podcast in late July, and said both Epstein and the president were involved with a “model agent” who introduced Trump to the first lady.

The Daily Beast published Wolff’s claims in a story, and has since apologised for it.

The 55-year-old son of former President Joe Biden made a follow-up appearance on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan on August 5 and let the allegations rip.

“They knew each other well, they spent an enormous amount of time together,” Biden said of Donald Trump and Epstein. “According to his biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, that’s how Melania, the first lady and the president met.”

Donald Trump was a friend of Epstein, but has said the pair fell out in the early 2000s because the financier had poached employees who worked at the spa in Trump’s Florida golf club.

However, a letter from the first lady’s lawyers and addressed to an attorney for Hunter Biden demands he retract the claim and apologise, or face legal action for “over $1bn in damages”.

It says the first lady has suffered “overwhelming financial and reputational harm” because of the claim he repeated.

It also accuses Biden’s son of having a “vast history of trading on the names of others”, and repeating the claim “to draw attention to yourself”.

During a wide-ranging interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden claimed unreleased documents relating to Epstein would “implicate” President Trump.

In a letter addressed to Biden and his longtime lawyer Abbe Lowell, the first lady’s lawyer Alejandro Brito called Biden’s comments “false, defamatory, and lewd.”

“Given your vast history of trading on the names of others-including your surname-for your personal benefit, it is obvious that you published these false and defamatory statements about Mrs. Trump to draw attention to yourself,” Brito wrote in a letter, first obtained by Fox News.

The letter was dated August 6 and gave the younger Biden until August 7 to comply.

As of Wednesday night, that specific episode of Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan remained on YouTube.

“These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,” the first lady’s attorney said.

“Indeed, the Video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide,” he continued.

“Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” Brito added.

The lawyer asked Biden to “immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the Video and any and all other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published.”

The former first son must also “immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump,” Brito said.

The report noted that six days have passed since Brito’s deadline, and Hunter Biden hasn’t apologised.
