Hunter Biden Just Told Melania Trump ‘F— That’ After She Accused Him of ‘Extremely Salacious’ Claims Involving Her Husband & Jeffrey Epstein
First lady Melania Trump is threatening legal action against Hunter Biden for “defamatory” remarks. However, former President Joe Biden’s son isn’t backing down.
Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, issued a letter to Biden demanding a full retraction of an interview he did with Andrew Callaghan that was posted to YouTube on Aug. 5. The former first son had repeated a claim from a biographer that Donald Trump had met his current wife through his connections with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 1998.
“These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,” Brito wrote in the letter, per Fox News Digital. “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.”

Trump and her legal team had given Biden and Callaghan until Aug. 7 to comply and take down the video, as well as an apology. If they don’t, they would face a lawsuit costing $1B. However, in a video titled “Hunter Biden Apologizes” that was dropped on Aug. 14, Callaghan and Biden had a clear response to whether they would take down the video. “F–k that. That’s not going to happen,” Biden said.
Biden doubled down saying that the claim stemmed from the president’s biographer. “What I said was what I have heard and seen, reported and written, primarily from Michael Wolff, but also dating back all the way to 2019 when the New York Times, I think … reported that sources said that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to be the person to introduce Donald Trump to Melania at that time,” he said in the video.
Biden continued, “I have this to say to them: If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein — if the president and the first lady want to do that and all the known associates around them at the time, whatever time that they met, I’m more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it.
“Fact of the matter is that, you know, I don’t think that these threats of a lawsuit add up to anything other than a design distraction, because it’s not about who introduced whom to whom. I don’t know how that in any way rises to the level of defamation to begin with,” Biden added.
Brito said in a statement to People, “First Lady Melania Trump’s attorneys are actively ensuring immediate retractions and apologies by those who spread malicious, defamatory falsehoods. The true account of how the First Lady met President Trump is in her best-selling book, Melania.”
The first lady recounted her first meeting with her current husband at the Kit Kat Klub in New York City in September 1998 during New York Fashion Week. “From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature,” she wrote in her memoir. She declined to give him her phone number because he was “with a date.” However, he gave her his phone number.
President Donald Trump responded to his wife’s lawsuit on Fox News radio. “You know, I’ve done pretty well on these lawsuits lately. And I said, go forward. Jeffrey Epstein has nothing to do with Melania and I introducing. But they do that. They make up stories,” he said.
