Washington: First lady Melania Trump has put former US President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, “on notice,” threatening to sue him for over USD 1 billion for claiming that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, Fox News reported.
Melania’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, demanded that Hunter “immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” he made about the first lady in an interview earlier this month on the YouTube show “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.”
In the video, titled “Hunter Biden Returns,” Biden claimed, “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met,” adding, “The connections are, like, so wide and deep.”
According to Fox News, Brito sent a letter to Hunter Biden and his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, on August 6, giving him an ultimatum: remove the content, issue a public apology, and retract the statements, or face a potential USD1 billion defamation lawsuit.
“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. (ANI)
