First lady Melania Trump has demanded that Hunter Biden retract statements linking her to Jeffrey Epstein, threatening legal action if he does not. In an Aug. 6 letter first reported by Fox News Digital, attorney Alejandro Brito called Biden’s claims “false, defamatory and extremely salacious,” alleging they caused “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.”
Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, made the remarks during an interview with British journalist Andrew Callaghan, alleging Epstein introduced Melania to President Trump. Biden attributed the claim to author Michael Wolff, whom Trump has dismissed as a “Third Rate Reporter.”
The Trumps have long maintained they met in 1998 through modeling agent Paolo Zampolli at a New York Fashion Week party.
Public figures face a high bar for defamation cases, but the first lady’s move mirrors her husband’s frequent use of litigation against critics. Abbe Lowell, Biden’s attorney, did not respond to a request for comment.
