(In UK) Melania Trump Threatens $1 Billion Lawsuit Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Claims

 

Melania Trump is making headlines in the United Kingdom and the United States following her legal team’s $1 billion defamation demand against Hunter Biden. The former First Lady’s attorneys allege that Biden falsely claimed in a YouTube interview with journalist Andrew Callaghan that Melania was introduced to Donald Trump by Jeffrey Epstein in the late 1990s. The legal notice, sent on August 6, 2025, demands an immediate retraction and a public apology, threatening a massive lawsuit if Biden fails to comply. In response, Biden dismissed the threat with a blunt “F*** that!” during a follow-up interview, refusing to apologize and suggesting the matter be addressed in a deposition.

Beyond the legal drama, Melania’s influence within the Trump administration is reportedly growing. International media highlight her discreet yet significant role in advising on critical issues, including U.S. policies on Gaza and Ukraine. Diplomats increasingly view her as a pivotal figure in the administration, amplifying her prominence on the global stage.
