Jonathan Turley Says Melania Trump’s Demand For An Apology Is ‘Not Welcome News’ For Hunter Biden

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Thursday that Hunter Biden waging war against first lady Melania Trump will likely not end well for him.

Alejandro Brito, an attorney for Melania, threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against Biden on August 6 over his allegations on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” that the first lady met President Donald Trump through deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Turley said on “America’s Newsroom” that Biden’s adamant refusal to apologize for his statements may not be “welcome news” for him.

“In the notice letter, they said they would be seeking $1 billion and I can say right now without discovery he doesn’t have it. That’s a lot of paintings that he would have to move and their value has gone down dramatically since he left office,” Turley said. “The fact is that the first lady has succeeded in getting several news outlets to retract this story. They really go after the source, this author named Wolff who has been repeatedly challenged in terms of the accuracy of things he has written about the Trump family the Trump administration … So this is not exactly welcome news for Hunter Biden.”

Biden cited biographer Michael Wolff’s allegations that the first lady had close ties to Epstein and had been introduced to her husband in 1998 through ID Models founder Paolo Zampolli, who had ties to the sex offender and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Melania’s legal team has vehemently denied these allegations and has successfully gotten these claims retracted.
