First Lady Melania Trump is preparing to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1 billion, accusing him of spreading false and damaging claims that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump.

In a letter to Hunter’s attorney, her legal team described the remarks as “false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory.” The letter demands a public retraction and apology, warning that failure to do so will result in legal action.

Melania’s lawyers argue that the allegation has caused her “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” They also accused Hunter of repeatedly invoking other people’s names to draw attention, citing a since-retracted Daily Beast article that implied links between the Trumps and Epstein. That outlet later apologized after receiving a challenge from her attorneys.

Hunter Biden doubles down

Hunter made the disputed remarks earlier this month during an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan. He alleged Epstein had introduced Melania to Donald and hinted that documents could implicate the former president.
