In a surprising legal twist, First Lady Melania Trump is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for a staggering $1 billion. The legal action follows Biden’s claim that she was introduced to former President Donald Trump by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a recent interview. Melania’s lawyers labeled Biden’s comments as “false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory,” stating that they have caused her severe financial and reputational damage.
Hunter Biden, son of the current President, made these accusations while criticizing his father's previous connections to Epstein, who was known to have associated with various high-profile individuals. While Donald Trump has acknowledged knowing Epstein, he has distanced himself after various disputes, the most notable being over staff poaching at his Florida golf club.
The letter sent by Melania's attorneys urges Hunter to retract his statements and apologize or risk facing a lawsuit for damages. They also mention that Biden has a long history of using others’ names to gain attention. This comment was made during an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, where Biden claimed that undisclosed documents related to Epstein would implicate Trump.
Biden also referenced journalist Michael Wolff, who previously suggested a link between Melania and Epstein's associates. However, Wolff’s claims have since been challenged and disputed, with the publication retracting his earlier statements after receiving legal pushback from Melania's team. Notably, there is no verifiable evidence supporting the claim that Epstein was responsible for introducing Melania to Donald Trump.
Amidst ongoing calls for the White House to release Epstein-related documents, Melania’s team is firmly intent on protecting her image. A statement from Melania’s aide emphasized the pursuit of retractions and apologies from those disseminating “malicious” falsehoods. In contrast, the FBI declared that no incriminating documents involving Epstein’s associates exist, despite Trump’s promise to release such records if re-elected.
