First Lady Melania Trump has warned Hunter Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, of legal action worth $1 billion over allegations she says are false and defamatory in connection with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to a legal notice published by Fox News, the dispute arose after Hunter Biden released a YouTube video on 5 August titled “Hunter Biden Returns.”
The video reportedly contained assertions linking Melania Trump’s introduction to Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein. The First Lady’s legal team described these claims as categorically false and inherently defamatory.
The letter demanded an immediate and comprehensive retraction of the video and any other statements deemed misleading or inflammatory. Failure to comply by the 7 August deadline, the notice stated, would prompt a lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages.
Sources indicate that Hunter Biden did not issue the requested retraction within the specified timeframe, setting the stage for a potentially high-profile legal battle.
