The ex-US president’s son has claimed she had been introduced to Donald Trump by late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein
US First Lady Melania Trump has threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against Hunter Biden over his “extremely salacious” remarks linking her to late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The son of former US President Joe Biden made the comments during a YouTube interview with Channel 5 host Andrew Callaghan earlier this month. Biden alleged that Epstein had introduced Melania to her husband, Donald Trump, citing a book by American journalist Michael Wolff. According to Biden, the connections between the late sex trafficker and the Trumps “are, like, so wide and deep.”
Shortly after the explosive interview, the first lady’s attorney,Alejandro Brito, sent Biden a letter threatening him with a $1 billion lawsuit. Dated August 6 and circulated by the US media this week, the letter demanded that Biden “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump” or face the massive suit needed to “recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer.”
Donald Trump, who himself is no stranger to filing substantial litigation lawsuits, has backed the looming legal action against Biden.
“I said go forward. You know, I’ve done pretty well on these lawsuits lately … and Jeffrey Epstein had nothing to do with Melania and introducing,” Trump told Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade on Thursday. Previously, the US president accused Wolff of making up stories to sell books and dismissed him as a “third-rate reporter.”
Biden reappeared on Callaghan’s show on Thursday, being offered an opportunity to apologize. He refused to do so, however, and stood by his original remarks.
“F**k that, that’s not going to happen,” he said. “[Epstein and Trump] knew each other well, they spent an enormous amount of time together.” Biden once again referenced Wolff’s claims, as well as cited several other publications alleging the link between Melania Trump and Epstein.
According to the first lady’s best-selling memoir, ‘Melania’, she met her future husband at a 1998 Fashion Week party in New York, where the two were introduced by a modeling agent.
