**Melania Trump Threatens Legal Action Against Hunter Biden Over Epstein Comments**

**The legal dispute centers around allegations that Jeffrey Epstein facilitated the meeting between Melania and Donald Trump, which Melania's lawyers vehemently deny, calling the claims defamatory.**

First Lady Melania Trump has taken a strong stance against Hunter Biden, threatening to sue him for more than $1 billion over comments he made regarding her introduction to former President Donald Trump by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The First Lady's legal team characterized Biden's statement as "false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory." Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, aired his controversial comments during a recent interview, where he criticized his father's predecessor's links to Epstein.

The tensions stem from a past friendship between Donald Trump and Epstein, which Trump claims soured in the early 2000s due to a dispute over Epstein poaching staff from Trump's golf club in Florida. In his conversation, Biden asserted that documents related to Epstein would implicate Trump and alleged, "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump - the connections are so wide and deep."

In a formal letter sent to Biden’s attorney, Melania Trump is demanding a retraction of the remarks and an apology, threatening legal action for "over $1 billion in damages" should he fail to comply. The letter outlines the First Lady's claims of suffering significant "financial and reputational harm" from Biden's statements.

The allegations reportedly trace back to journalist Michael Wolff, who suggested an Epstein connection in his biography of Donald Trump. However, following a legal challenge from Melania Trump's attorneys, the publication retracted the original claim and apologized for the confusion. The letter from the First Lady’s legal team emphasizes that Biden is relying on this now-withdrawn article to support his assertions, labeling them as fundamentally flawed.

In earlier interviews, Hunter Biden suggested the existence of undisclosed Epstein files that could expose connections among Trump's associates. Melania Trump's attorney, Alejandro Brito, highlighted the need for immediate retractions from those perpetuating what he termed "malicious, defamatory falsehoods."

Historical accounts indicate that Melania Trump met Donald Trump in 1998 at a party hosted by a modeling agency founder. Articles state that she hesitated to give her phone number to Trump due to him being with someone else at the time. Efforts to release materials related to Epstein’s investigations have also drawn public interest, with past promises from Trump to unveil such records, though authorities have indicated no incriminating client list exists.

As the disagreement escalates, the landscape surrounding the Epstein story remains as complex and debated as ever, fanning the flames of politically charged narratives in the media.
