Melania Trump threatens to sue Hunter Biden with USD1 billion defamation suit over Epstein claims

Washington/ New Delhi Aug 14 (UNI) US First Lady Melania Trump has put former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, on “USD 1 billion notice” after he claimed she was introduced to her husband, Donald Trump, by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump has demanded an apology over what she calls “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” made about her, Fox News reported.

In an interview earlier this month on the YouTube show Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, Hunter Biden has claimed that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, Fox News reported.

Alejandro Brito serving as litigation counsel for the First Lady,has sent notice to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Fox news reported.
In the video, titled "Hunter Biden Returns," Biden claimed, "Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that's how Melania and the first lady and the President met," adding, "The connections are, like, so wide and deep."
If Biden do not obey the ultimatum and remove the content and retract from the statement, and issue a public apology, Trump will have 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.
The statements are false, defamatory and “extremely salacious,” Melania Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote in a letter to Biden. Biden's remarks were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world, causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” he 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."
"Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm," Brito added.
