Melania Trump Threatens $1 Billion Lawsuit Over Hunter Biden Epstein Claims
First Lady Melania Trump is taking legal action against Hunter Biden following his recent interviews alleging that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump.
In an August 5 interview with Channel 5โs Andrew Callaghan, Biden stated,
โEpstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.โ
He attributed the claims to journalist Michael Wolff, whose past biography of Donald Trump has faced criticism.
Melaniaโs attorney, Alejandro Brito, sent a formal letter to Biden and his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, describing the statements as โfalse, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatoryโ and demanding a retraction. The letter warns:
โFailure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rightsโฆ to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer.โ
The letter also requests a public apology and threatens a $1 billion (ยฃ736 million) lawsuit.
The controversy follows the removal of a Daily Beast article citing Wolffโs claims, with the outlet apologizing to the First Lady for any โconfusion or misunderstanding.โ
