Hunter Biden has issued a brutal response to Melania Trump threatening him with a $1 billion lawsuit over claims he made about her links to Jeffrey Epstein.
Ever since Donald Trump returned to office in January for a second term, conspiracy theories about Epstein have hounded him.
Former president Joe Biden’s son Hunter claimed in a recent interview that Melania was introduced to Trump by the convicted paedophile.
Speaking to filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, Biden claimed: “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump – the connections are so wide and deep,” adding elsewhere in the interview that the alleged Epstein files would ‘implicate’ President Trump.
Melania’s legal team issued Biden a letter, the BBC reports, demanding he retract the ‘false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory’ statement and apologize, or face a lawsuit of at least $1 billion.

The letter seen by the BBC states Biden’s claim was partially attributed to journalist Michael Wolff, who said in a since-deleted Daily Beast interview that Melania was introduced to Trump by someone with ties to both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Daily Beast posted an update on the story that read: “After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article.
“After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding.”
Amid the threat of a lawsuit and potentially going to court, Biden has issued a brutal response while sitting down for a recent interview with Channel 5.
When Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan asked Hunter if he was going to apologise to Melania, he said: “F**k that, that’s not going to happen.”
Convicted pedophile Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York City in August 2019.
The financier had been arrested earlier in the year and died aged 66 while awaiting trial for charges related to sex trafficking – charges to which he pleaded not guilty.
The Justice Department has said in the past that over 200 pages of documents relating to Epstein are in their possession, while the FBI is said to have thousands more.
