Lawyers for the first lady have said that if Hunter Biden fails to retract his statements, she will seek $1 billion in damages. The notice letter has been sent to Biden and his lawyers which states that if there’s a failure to comply, Melania Trump will pursue “remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer”.

Hunter Biden states that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Trump — a lie so egregious that Melania’s lawyers just successfully secured a retraction from the Daily Beast for reporting such.

Biden made the Epstein comments during the interview wherein he criticized “elites” and lashed out at others in the Democratic Party as he claimed that the party undermined his father before he dropped out the presidential race in July last year.

In one of the comments, Biden said “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.” Biden attributed his claims to author Michael Wolff, who was called a “Third rate reporter” by President Trump in June. The US president has accused Wolff of making up stories in order to sell her books.

The president and the first lady have maintained their stance that they were introduced by Paolo Zampolli, a modeling agent, at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998, Associated Press reported.
