Melania Trump Takes Legal Action Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Allegations

In a dramatic legal move, Melania Trump is pursuing Hunter Biden for over $1 billion after his assertion that Epstein facilitated her introduction to Donald Trump.

Melania Trump, the First Lady and wife of former President Donald Trump, has initiated legal proceedings against Hunter Biden, the son of current President Joe Biden, threatening a lawsuit with claims exceeding $1 billion. Biden made controversial statements during a recent interview, alleging that Jeffrey Epstein was responsible for introducing Melania to her husband, Donald Trump.

Biden's remarks, delivered in an interview earlier this month where he criticized his father's past connections to Epstein, have been labeled by Melania Trump's legal team as "false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory." In the wake of these claims, her lawyers have sent a letter demanding a retraction and an apology from Biden or face substantial legal consequences.

The letter asserts that Melania Trump has endured significant "financial and reputational harm" due to the allegations, which have come under scrutiny for their veracity. Donald Trump, while known to have had a past friendship with Epstein, has publicly distanced himself from the financier, claiming their friendship ended in the early 2000s because Epstein had allegedly poached staff from Trump's Florida club.

Hunter Biden’s comments came during a discussion with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan that covered various topics, including the implications of undisclosed documents related to Epstein that he claimed could link President Trump. "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump – the connections are so wide and deep," Biden stated, exacerbating the situation surrounding the Trump's and Epstein's past.

The legal communication from Melania Trump’s attorneys also pointed to an article by journalist Michael Wolff, which falsely suggested her connections to Epstein. After receiving legal counsel from Trump’s team, the content in question was retracted by the publication, further validating Melania's claims of defamation.

Moreover, the legal notice states that Hunter Biden is capitalizing on a discredited article to bolster his claims, which they categorize as "false and defamatory." The Trump family's narrative regarding Melania’s initial meeting with Donald Trump recounted a 1998 party, as detailed in a prior Harper's Bazaar profile, which contradicts Biden's version of events.

The escalating legal actions come against the backdrop of ongoing demands for the release of Epstein’s files, previously undisclosed documents linked to the late financier, amid speculation regarding his connections with various high-profile individuals. As pressure mounts on the White House for these records to be revealed, Melania Trump's lawyers remain insistent on seeking accountability for the allegations made against her.
