Hunter Biden brushed off a threat from first lady Melania Trump to file a lawsuit against him for $1 billion. Trump threatened to file the lawsuit against Biden if he didn’t retract “false” and “defamatory” comments linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. During an interview on the YouTube show “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan,” Biden said “f*** that.” “That’s not going to happen,” he added.

Her team has also issued similar threats to other key figures. Last month, for example, the Daily Beast retracted an article that peddled similar claims after getting threatened by the first lady’s team. Democratic strategist James Carville also apologized and scrubbed an episode of his podcast last week in which he speculated there was an “Epstein connection” involving the first lady. “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 first lady’s attorney Alejandro Brito wrote in an Aug. 6 demand letter, Fox News reported. Despite his bravado, Biden could find himself in a lot of financial trouble if he were sued. The former first son has claimed in court documents that he is straddled with “significant debt in the millions of dollars range” amid struggling art sales and expensive legal bills.

In the Aug. 5 video, Biden said the connections between Epstein and the Trumps “are like, so wide and deep.” In the Thursday follow-up video, Biden said, “I don’t believe in guilt by association alone, but the connections that are so glaringly obvious that I think they’re trying to use other things to distract.” Brito threatened to file a lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages if Biden did not issue a “full and fair retraction of the video” and disparaging or misleading statements. Brito said Biden’s source was Michael Wolff, “whose lies were published by The Daily Beast in the article titled ‘Melania Trump ‘very involved’ in Epstein Scandal: Author.'” Axios was unable to reach Wolff for comment. After receiving a cease-and-desist demand letter a week ago, The Daily Beast issued an apology to the first lady and “retracted the false and defamatory statements contained in the article by deleting it in its entirety,” Brito wrote. “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,” Brito wrote.
