Hunter Biden Reacts to Melania Trump's Threat of $1 Billion Lawsuit
Hunter Biden is responding to threats of a lawsuit by First Lady Melania Trump.
The former 55-year-old son of former President Joe Biden was recently doing a TV appearance talking about the Epstein files and Donald Trump‘s history with the late controversial figure.
During that appearance, Hunter said that Epstein introduced Trump and Melania, with his comments leading the First Lady to demand a retraction and apology.

“They knew each other well. They spent an enormous amount of time together,” Hunter said on Channel 5. “According to [Trump’s] biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania. That’s how Melania … the first lady and the president met. Yeah, according to Michael Wolff.”
Shortly after that appearance aired, Melania‘s lawyer Alejandro Brito issued a legal notice for Hunter to “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” per Complex.
The lawyer said if he didn’t retract his statements and apologize, they would sue for over $1 billion in damages, according to the BBC.
Now, Hunter has reappeared on Channel 5 and reacted to the threat of the lawsuit and demand to retract and apologize.
“Uh, f–k that,” Hunter said. “That’s not going to happen. First of all, what I said is what I have heard and seen reported and written primarily from Michael Wolff, but also dating back all the way to 2019.”
Hunter also noted that he wasn’t fazed by the legal threats as many other publications have also reported on Epstein‘s ties to the Trumps.
“It’s been repeated by journalists and authors since then,” he added. “But the primary source was interviews that Michael Wolff has been conducting … He has tapes of, I think, hours and hours and hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein, directly.”
“The fact of the matter is… I don’t think these threats of a lawsuit add up to anything other than a designed distraction,” Hunter continued. “It’s not about who introduced whom to who. I don’t know how that in any way rises to the level of defamation, anyway.
“This is about hundreds if not over a thousand minors, children who were raped by Jeffrey Epstein,” he went on. “I don’t believe in guilt by association alone, but the connections have become—they’re so glaringly obvious that I think they’re trying to use other things to distract.”
“If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and the president,” Hunter shared. “I’m more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it.”
