First lady Melania Trump is threatening to sue Hunter Biden over statements he made regarding her allegedly being introduced to President Donald Trump by convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
According to an exclusive report on Fox News, the first lady demanded Biden retract his statements, which she said are “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory.”
If he does not, he will be hit with a $1 billion lawsuit. Her complete demand is for Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, immediately remove and retract the content and issue an apology.
The first lady’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, sent a letter to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell on Aug. 6.
Fox News Digital obtained a copy of the letter.
The “false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements” made by Biden were in were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in earlier this month.
“Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer,” Brito wrote.
In the video, Biden claimed, “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.”
“Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met,” he continued.
These “statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,” Brito wrote. “Indeed, the video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide.”
“Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” Brito added.
Biden’s “source,” accordingto Brito, is “serial fabulist Michael Wolff, whose lies were published by The Daily Beast in the article titled ‘Melania Trump ‘very involved’ in Epstein Scandal: Author.’”
“Following receipt of our cease-and-desist demand letter just a week ago, The Daily Beast issued an apology to Mrs. Trump and retracted the false and defamatory statements contained in the article by deleting it in its entirety,” Brito wrote.
“Despite this, you have unjustifiably relied upon Mr. Wolff’s false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump and maliciously elected to republish them,” he added.
Brito told Biden that he does not have “any viable defense to the overwhelming reputational and financial harm” he has caused the first lady.
“The timing of this video is evident and underscores the actual malice behind the decision to publish it given the plain falsity of the statements,” Brito wrote. “Given your vast history of trading on the names of others—including your surname—for your personal benefit, it is obvious that you published these false and defamatory statements about Mrs. Trump to draw attention to yourself.”
Brito demanded Biden immediately retract and apologize “for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump.”
Brito also told Biden not to “destroy, conceal, or alter any paper or electronic files, physical evidence” relating to the false claims
“If you do not comply with the above by August 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST, Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for over $1 Billion Dollars in damages,” Brito wrote. “You are on notice.”
According to a source, Biden did not make the deadline.
