Hunter Biden Fires Back at Melania Trump’s $1 Billion Lawsuit Threat
Hunter Biden has delivered a fiery response after Melania Trump threatened to sue him for $1 billion over remarks tying her to Jeffrey Epstein.
The controversy erupted when Hunter, son of President Joe Biden, claimed in an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan that “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump – the connections are so wide and deep.” He also suggested that alleged Epstein files could implicate Donald Trump.
Melania’s legal team, led by attorney Alejandro Brito, quickly fired back with a formal letter demanding Biden retract his “false, disparaging and defamatory” remarks and issue a public apology. The letter accused him of causing the First Lady “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.”
The claims appeared to echo comments once attributed to journalist Michael Wolff in a since-deleted Daily Beast article, which the outlet later removed, issuing an apology for “confusion or misunderstanding.”
But Hunter isn’t backing down. In a Channel 5 follow-up, when asked if he planned to apologize, he bluntly replied: “F**k that, that’s not going to happen.” He went further, saying: “I think they’re bullies, and they think a billion dollars is going to scare me.”
With the Justice Department reportedly holding hundreds of Epstein-related documents, the clash between Melania Trump and Hunter Biden now threatens to escalate into a high-profile legal showdown.
