Melania Trump Initiates $1 Billion Lawsuit Threat Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Claims

Melania Trump is poised to sue Hunter Biden for over $1 billion due to his claims that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump. Her lawyers label Biden’s statements as defamatory and demand a retraction.

 

In a significant legal development, Melania Trump has announced her intention to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1 billion, following his controversial claims that she was introduced to her husband, Donald Trump, by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. According to lawyers representing Melania, the assertion made by Biden—son of former President Joe Biden—during a recent interview is "false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory."

The backdrop to this legal threat involves Hunter Biden's remarks, where he criticized Trump’s past associations with Epstein, a known financier who was convicted of multiple sex crimes. Although Donald Trump previously had a friendship with Epstein, he has publicly distanced himself, stating their relationship deteriorated in the early 2000s over Epstein's alleged poaching of staff from Trump’s Florida resort.

The legal letters issued by Melania Trump's attorneys demand a public retraction and an apology from Hunter, warning that failure to comply could result in a monumental lawsuit for damages. They assert that the First Lady has been subject to significant "financial and reputational harm" due to Biden's unverified claims, which his legal representatives categorize as an attempt by him to gain public attention.

In the interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, Biden mentioned that he had access to documents suggesting connections between Trump and Epstein, further asserting that Epstein was the one who facilitated the introduction between the couple. This has been met with staunch denial from Melania's camp, which has pointed to the lack of evidence supporting Biden’s allegations.

The legal correspondence also refers back to comments made by journalist Michael Wolff, who once claimed that Melania was indeed known to someone connected with Epstein at the time she met Trump. However, The Daily Beast, the outlet that published this claim, later removed the article after receiving a retraction request from Trump’s legal team, acknowledging the potential inaccuracies in the initial report.

Adding further layers to the scenario, a 2016 profile in Harper's Bazaar detailed how Melania met Donald Trump in the late '90s at a party, rejecting his advances because he was with another woman at the time. Reports from reputable sources stipulate that they first met in November 1998, a narrative that aligns with her public statements to date.

As Melania Trump's legal representatives pursue this matter, they are also pressuring for retractions from various media outlets that could be seen as perpetuating these unfounded claims. Questions remain regarding Hunter Biden's motives, as well as the implications of his statements during a time when discussions around Jeffrey Epstein continue to evoke significant public and political interest.

As this situation develops, attention turns to how both parties will respond to the legal threats and whether there will be further revelations regarding Epstein's client list, a topic that has been scrutinized since his death.
