Melania Trump has demanded that Hunter Biden retract comments linking her to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and has threatened to sue if he does not.

Biden, the son of the former president Joe Biden, alleged in an interview this month that Epstein introduced the first lady to Donald Trump.

The statements were false, defamatory and “extremely salacious,” Melania Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, said in a letter to Biden. Biden’s remarks were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world, causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,” he added.

Biden made the Epstein comments during a sprawling interview with the British journalist Andrew Callaghan in which he lashed out at “elites” and others in the Democratic party who he said undermined his father before he dropped out of last year’s presidential campaign.

    causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm”, he added.

    More harm than her reputation suffered by marrying that shitbag? I doubt it.

    “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep,” Biden said in one of the comments that the first lady disputes. Biden attributed the claim to the author Michael Wolff. Donald Trump has accused Wolff of making up stories to sell books.

    This is a case that can easily be won because he’s citing what others said before him rather than making an independent claim. Not that he’ll get a fair trial from this DOJ or the corrupt judges appointed by the shitbag, but oh well.

    “Help, help! Some crack-smoking guy who my team loves to shit on repeated a claim that makes me embarrassed in front of our braindead supporters!” Boo hoo, you fucking tyrant-fellating asshole. Have another.
