First Lady Melania Trump is preparing to sue Hunter Biden for more than $1 billion, accusing him of spreading false and damaging claims that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump.

In a letter to Hunter’s attorney, her legal team described the remarks as “false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory.” The letter demands a public retraction and apology, warning that failure to do so will result in legal action.

Melania’s lawyers argue that the allegation has caused her “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” They also accused Hunter of repeatedly invoking other people’s names to draw attention, citing a since-retracted Daily Beast article that implied links between the Trumps and Epstein. That outlet later apologized after receiving a challenge from her attorneys.

Hunter Biden doubles down

Hunter made the disputed remarks earlier this month during an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan. He alleged Epstein had introduced Melania to Donald and hinted that documents could implicate the former president.

When pressed later about whether he would apologize to avoid being sued, Hunter flatly rejected the idea, replying: “[expletive] that. That’s not going to happen.”

How Melania and Donald really met

Contrary to Hunter’s claims, both Donald and Melania have publicly described how they first crossed paths — with no mention of Epstein.

The couple met in November 1998 at a Fashion Week party hosted by Italian entrepreneur Paolo Zampolli, founder of ID Models management agency. At the time, Melania was 28, Donald was 52 and separated from Marla Maples.

On their first official date, Donald took Melania to dinner and then to Moomba, a celebrity hotspot in New York, an evening she later recalled as unforgettable.

Now, with Melania signaling she will pursue the lawsuit and Hunter refusing to apologize, the dispute appears set for a legal showdown.
