US First Lady, Melania Trump, is threatening to sue Hunter Biden for $1 billion after he made the false claim that she was introduced to President Donald Trump by serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump's lawyer demanded that
Biden 'immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory
statements made about Mrs. Trump.'
The younger Biden had parroted
claims first made by Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff, who appeared on a
Daily Beast podcast in late July, and said both Epstein and the president were
involved with a 'model agent' who introduced Trump to the first lady.
The Daily Beast published Wolff's
claims in a story and has since apologized for it.
The 55-year-old son of former
President Joe Biden made a follow-up appearance on Channel 5 with Andrew
Callaghan on August 5 and let the allegations rip.
'They knew each other well, they
spent an enormous amount of time together,' Biden said of Donald Trump and
Epstein. 'According to his biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania,
that's how Melania .. the first lady and the president, met.'
In a letter addressed to Biden
and his longtime lawyer Abbe Lowell, the first lady's lawyer Alejandro Brito
called Biden's comments 'false, defamatory, and lewd.'
'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 wrote in a letter, first
obtained by Fox News. Nigerian fashion trends
The letter was dated August 6 and
gave the younger Biden until August 7 to comply.
As of Wednesday night, that
specific episode of Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan remained on YouTube.
'These false, disparaging,
defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been
widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,' the first lady's
attorney said.
'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,' he
continued.
'Consequently, you have caused
Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,' Brito
added.
The lawyer asked Biden to
'immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the Video and any and all
other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements
about Mrs. Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published.'
The former first son must also
'immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging,
misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump,' Brito said.
The lawyer warned in the letter
that if Biden didn't meet the first lady's demands '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.'
'You are on notice,' Brito
concluded.
Her East Wing spokesperson Nick
Clemens added: 'First Lady Melania Trump's attorneys are actively ensuring
immediate retractions and apologies by those who spread malicious, defamatory
falsehoods.'
'The true account of how the
First Lady met President Trump is in her best-selling book,
"Melania,"' he added in a statement to the Daily Mail
