Hunter Biden dismissed a $1 billion defamation threat over comments he made about her connections to Jeffrey Epstein and declined to apologize as her lawyers had demanded.
"F*** that, that's not going to happen," said Biden in a new episode of web series "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" published on YouTube Thursday morning, and defended his earlier remarks, which were also made on the same series.
Biden, the former president's son, had referred to reporting by biographer Michael Woolf that Epstein had told him he introduced Melania Trump to her husband, President Donald Trump, and subsequent media reports about that claim.
He called the Trumps "bullies" and called the lawsuit "a distraction".
Melania Trump's lawyers called the Epstein remarks "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory".

Trump approval rating slips to 38 percent: Poll
A new Pew Research Center polls finds just 38 percent of respondents approve of President Trump's job performance compared to 41 percent two months ago. The worsening performance appears to be linked to disapproval of Trump's tariff policies, and to some opposition to the 'Big Beautiful Bill' signed into law earlier this summer that extended Trump's first-term tax cuts, expanded those cuts, and also cut Medicaid. Sixty-one percent of the 3,554 adults who were surveyed disapprove of Trump's tariff policies as prices rise on regular goods. The tax and spending law results are more mitigated: 46 percent disapprove of the legislation, 32 percent approve and 23 percent say they are unsure. On key issues, voters still have some confidence in Trump. Forty-seven percent say they are 'somewhat confident' in Trump's ability to negotiate trade deals. On immigration, Trump also received a 46 percent confidence vote. The administration's handling of files related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein are an issue for the GOP and Trump. Seven in ten respondents agreed the case was mishandled. Among Republicans, 53 percent disapprove of the handling of the Epstein files, with 44 percent approving. Overall, 63 percent of respondents say they do not trust what the federal government is saying about the Epstein files Other questions also shed some light on Trump's overall performance. Fifty-three percent said Trump is making the federal government worse, while only 27 percent say he is making it better. Democrats disapprove of Trump overwhelmingly more than Republicans, but both political parties are showing less satisfaction. Fifty-five percent of Republicans said Trump was making the government better, and 16 percent said he was making it worse. After the inauguration, 76 percent of Republicans believed that Trump would make the government better in the future. With Democrats, 78 percent said Trump was making the government worse after the inauguration; now that number is up to 87 percent. Since he took office, the President has gone down 9 percent in his overall approval ratings, per Pew's numbers. In February, 95 percent of Trump voters approved of his job performance, while today it stands at 85 percent. Among non-voters, Trump lost 13 percent of support.

Trump-Putin Meeting: Alaska Minerals Update Issued by Russian Lawmaker
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A senior Russian lawmaker said Russian corporations could be interested in developing rare earth metals in Alaska just a few days before the face-to-face meeting between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Viktor Vodolatsky amplified reporting that U.S. officials had discussed economic incentives intended to encourage a Russian halt to the war in Ukraine, and suggested that "it would be interesting for our large companies and corporations" to work in Alaska. Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment. Why It Matters Trump and Putin are slated to meet in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday. The high-stakes meeting comes three-and-a-half years into Russia's war with Ukraine, which Trump pledged to end on his first day back in office. Trump has warned that if Russia doesn't come to the table to end the fighting, it will face serious consequences, likely economic. In recent months, the Trump administration has lauded various peace agreements and negotiations during Trump's first six months. What To Know Vodolatsky, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on CIS affairs, Eurasian integration and relations with compatriots, said in an interview with Russian news agency Tass that it "would be interesting for our large companies and corporations to work on the lands of Alaska, developing the natural resources that exist there, or jointly creating companies for the development and extraction of minerals with the Americans." Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said Trump and Putin would focus on options for achieving a long-term peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis during their meeting in Anchorage.

Getty Images The Daily Telegraph reported on Wednesday that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is exploring the economic trade-offs the United States can make with Russia in order to facilitate a ceasefire and peace agreement. These include giving Putin access to the rare earth minerals in the Ukrainian territories Moscow partially occupies, as well as opportunities to tap into the natural resources in the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia's eastern coast. There has been no confirmation from the White House or Alaskan officials that such a proposal is on the table. What People Are Saying President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday: "We're going to see what happens with our meeting. We have a big meeting. It's going to be very important for Russia and very important for us. And important to us since we're trying to save a lot of lives... As far as rare earth, that's very unimportant. I'm trying to save lives." What Happens Next The leaders are scheduled to meet in Anchorage today in a session that Russian officials described as focusing on a long-term settlement of the Ukrainian crisis and that U.S. officials described as a preliminary, "listening" meeting.

Donald Trump's Approval Rating Plummets With His Own Voters: Poll
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Donald Trump is facing a growing credibility problem within his own base, as new polling shows his approval rating among his own supporters has taken a sharp dive. The latest Pew Research poll, conducted between August 4-10 among 3,554 people, shows that Trump's approval rating is down amongst his supporters, from 88 percent in June to 85 percent this month. At the beginning of his second term, Trump's approval rating among his supporters stood at 95 percent.

President Donald Trump speaks during an event in the Oval Office to mark the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act, Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025, in Washington. Alex Brandon/AP Why It Matters The downward trend, though gradual, suggests that even within his strong base, Trump is facing modest erosion in support, signaling potential vulnerability within his core base. What To Know It comes as Trump's overall approval rating has dropped nationwide since January, especially in recent weeks. In Pew's poll, Trump's current job approval rating stands at 38 percent, with 60 percent of U.S. adults expressing disapproval of his performance. That is a modest decline from two months ago, when 41 percent approved. In January, his approval rating stood at 47 percent. Newsweek's tracker has also shown a decline in Trump's popularity, currently putting his net approval rating at -8 points, down from -5 last week and +2 at the beginning of March. Much of the change in Trump's approval rating over the last few months has come among his own 2024 voters and people who did not vote in 2024, according to Pew Research. Among Republicans overall, support remains strong in Pew's poll, with 93 percent approving of his job performance — but that is slightly down from 96 percent at the start of his presidency. Meanwhile, approval among 2024 nonvoters has fallen to 32 percent, down from 36 percent in June and 45 percent at the start of his term. The erosion is more pronounced among Republicans who identify less strongly with the party and GOP-leaning independents. About six in 10 in these groups approve of Trump today, compared with roughly three-quarters at the beginning of his second term. Support for Trump's policies has also weakened among Republicans. Currently, 58 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they support all or most of his policies, down from two-thirds earlier this year. Among Democrats and Democratic leaners, 88 percent say they support few or none of Trump's policies, slightly higher than the 84 percent in February, including 51 percent who oppose all his policies. Foreign Policy Challenges Weigh on Support On international matters, confidence in Trump's decision-making on the Russia-Ukraine war has dropped among Republicans: 73 percent express confidence today, down from 81 percent a year ago. Trump is currently in Alaska for a bilateral summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he hopes to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine will not be represented at the summit, though Trump held a virtual call with President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders earlier this week. Trump has threatened new sanctions and tariffs if Russia does not commit to a ceasefire. Earlier in the week, Trump said there is a "25 percent chance" his meeting with President Putin will fail. Trump said repeatedly on the campaign trail that he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine within his first 24 hours in office. He later walked back those comments, claiming he was joking. Economic Concerns Fuel Dissatisfaction Views on economic policies like tariffs are more mixed. Republicans are more likely to see tariffs as beneficial for the country (52 percent) than for themselves personally (40 percent), with 35 percent expecting a mixed impact on their own finances. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick predicted $50 billion in monthly revenue from the new import taxes, which came into effect this month. But JPMorgan warned that 60 percent of the increased costs are expected to be passed on to American consumers through higher prices. Inflation also rose to 2.7 percent in June. That is despite Trump's previous promise to end inflation on day one of his second term. "Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods," he said during a rally in Bozeman, Montana, in August 2024. And job growth slowed sharply in July, with just 73,000 new jobs added—down from 147,000 the previous month, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, polls have shown confidence in the economy among Republicans eroding. The most recent YouGov/Economist poll saw approval of Trump's handling of the economy among Republicans drop to 79 percent, down from 90 percent in January. Inflation, often cited as a central concern for voters, shows an even sharper drop, with approval falling from 84 percent to 72 percent and disapproval rising from 4 percent to 22 percent. Republicans' Outlook on the Country Grows Less Optimistic Confidence in Trump's effectiveness among Republicans is slipping as well, according to Pew Research. While 55 percent of Republicans still believe he is making government work better, this is 21 points lower than six months ago. Fewer Republicans express confidence in his ability to unite the country (56 percent) or work with Democratic officials (49 percent). The YouGov/Economist poll showed that the share of Republicans who view Trump as honest and trustworthy has dropped since the beginning of his second term. In January, 77 percent of Republicans said the president was trustworthy. By August, that had dropped to 71 percent, while those finding him untrustworthy doubled from 7 percent to 14 percent. The poll also showed that Republicans' outlook on the direction of the country has become less positive over the summer, with 68 percent saying things are going in the right direction in August compared with 74 percent in May, while those saying things are going in the wrong direction rose by 5 points to 22 percent. What Happens Next Trump on Thursday raised the possibility of Zelensky joining him and Putin in Alaska for a second meeting following Friday's summit with the Russian leader. Remaining in Alaska "would be by far the easiest" way for the three world leaders to hold talks, Trump said during a radio interview.
