Hunter Biden delivers profanity-laced response to Melania Trump's $1B notice for 'defamatory' Epstein remarks
Hunter Biden, in another profanity-laced interview, brushed off first lady Melania Trump's recent $1 billion legal notice over what she claims are "false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements." "F--- that. That's not gonna happen," Biden said during an interview with "Channel 5" podcaster Andrew Callaghan that was published to YouTube Thursday. Callaghan had offered Biden the opportunity to apologize to the first lady for a previous video interview titled "Hunter Biden Returns" earlier in August, when the former first son claimed "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep." "Mrs. Trump is seeking $1 billion in damages if we don't take the video down, and if Hunter here doesn't issue a formal apology to Mrs. Trump," Callaghan told Biden, before the former first son brushed off the notice. "So now we're here maybe to give you the platform to apologize to the first lady for your statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein." Biden doubled down in his most recent interview, and welcomed sitting down at a deposition over the matter. "I also think they're bullies, and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me," he said. "I have this to say to them: if they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein – if the president, the first lady, want to do that, and all of the known associates around them at the time of whatever time that they met – I'm more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it." Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the letter that Alejandro Brito, an attorney serving as litigation counsel for the first lady, sent to Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Aug. 6. Brito demanded that Biden "immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump," which were contained in the "Channel 5" video published to YouTube in early August. "Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer," Brito wrote. Biden had also claimed in the earlier interview that "Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that's how Melania and the first lady and the President met." "These false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums," Brito wrote. "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." Brito added: "Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm." Brito demanded, on behalf of the first lady, that Biden "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." He also demanded, on behalf of the first lady, that Biden "immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump." Fox News Digital reached out to Biden attorney Lowell's office for any additional comment on the matter, but did not immediately receive a reply.

Melania Trump Threatens $1 Bln Suit Against Hunter Biden
Israa Farhan First Lady Melania Trump has warned Hunter Biden, son of former US President Joe Biden, of legal action worth $1 billion over allegations she says are false and defamatory in connection with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to a legal notice published by Fox News, the dispute arose after Hunter Biden released a YouTube video on 5 August titled 'Hunter Biden Returns.' The video reportedly contained assertions linking Melania Trump's introduction to Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein. The First Lady's legal team described these claims as categorically false and inherently defamatory. The letter demanded an immediate and comprehensive retraction of the video and any other statements deemed misleading or inflammatory. Failure to comply by the 7 August deadline, the notice stated, would prompt a lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages. Sources indicate that Hunter Biden did not issue the requested retraction within the specified timeframe, setting the stage for a potentially high-profile legal battle. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Melania Trump Makes $1 Billion Threat Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Claim
First lady Melania Trump has threatened Hunter Biden with $1 billion notice over what she claims to be his "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" against her. According to her, he made false claims that serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to US President Donald Trump. Through her attorney, Alejandro Brito, the first lady sent a letter to the former first son and his longtime lawyer, Abbe Lowell. Brito, who serves as litigation counsel for Melania, sent the letter to Hunter on Wednesday (August 6). In the letter, the attorney demanded that Hunter retract the content immediately and issue an apology, or face legal action. "This law firm serves as litigation counsel for The First Lady of the United States of America, Mrs. Melania Trump (hereinafter referred to as "Mrs. Trump"). Please direct all future correspondence relating to this matter to my attention. This correspondence serves as a demand under Florida Statute § 770.011 that you immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump, which are contained in the video published on YouTube on August 5, 2025, titled "Hunter Biden Returns" ("Video"). Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer," the letter read. X Epstein Claim In the letter obtained by Fox News, Brito highlighted the two statements made by Hunter against the first lady during his interview with Channel 5. The son of the former US President claimed that "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep". He also said, "Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, that's how Melania and the First Lady and the President met. Really? Epstein made the intro? Yeah, according to Michael Wolff". The attorney further stated that the video featuring "false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements" circulated online among "tens of millions of people worldwide". As a result, the first lady suffered "overwhelming financial and reputational harm". The lawyer also stated that the source for Hunter's claims was "serial fabulist Michael Wolff, whose lies were published by The Daily Beast in the article titled 'Melania Trump 'very involved' in Epstein Scandal: Author". "Following receipt of our cease-and-desist demand letter just a week ago, The Daily Beast issued an apology to Mrs. Trump and retracted the false and defamatory statements contained in the article by deleting it in its entirety. Despite this, you have unjustifiably relied upon Mr. Wolff's false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump and maliciously elected to republish them," the attorney wrote. X Melania Trump's Threat Against Hunter On behalf of the first lady, the attorney demanded that Hunter immediately remove and retract the video, featuring "false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements" and issue an apology. "If you do not comply with the above by August 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EST, 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 in damages. You are on notice," the attorney wrote. Though the letter was dated August 6 and the deadline given to young Biden was August 7, the episode of Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan was available on YouTube as of Thursday (August 14).
