The former first son shrugged off Melania's threat of legal action, which accused him of defamation, responding, "F--- that"

Trump threatened to file a lawsuit against Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, accusing him of making "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" during an interview in which he claimed Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to her husband, President Donald Trump.

First lady Melania Trump demanded that Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and threatened to sue him for $US1 billion ($1.5bn) if he does not.

Though tabloids and right-wing operatives claimed the laptop was full of evidence of the Biden family’s corrupt dealings, the device was mostly a trove of salacious and embarrassing personal material from when Hunter Biden was in the depths of drug addiction.

First lady Melania Trump is demanding that Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein

First lady Melania Trump is putting Hunter Biden on $1 billion notice over what she claims are "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" made about her.

Hunter Biden claimed in an interview that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein introduced the first lady to her now-husband, Donald Trump, which the Trumps say is false.

An emerging rift between Melania Trump and Hunter Biden escalated Thursday when the son of former President Joe Biden issued an expletive-laden response to the first lady's demand that he apologize for an allegation he made about her alleged prior ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
