Hunter Biden shrugs off Melania Trump’s $1B threat over ‘defamatory’ Epstein remarks: ‘F— that’

Hunter Biden crassly brushed aside first lady Melania Trump’s threat to sue him for $1 billion if he doesn’t retract “false” and “defamatory” comments linking her to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

“F–k that. That’s not going to happen,” Biden said with an arrogant smile during an interview on the YouTube show “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” on Thursday.

Warning: Explicit Language

The first lady’s team revealed Wednesday that it put the scandal-scarred former first son on notice for suggesting that Epstein introduced her to her husband, Donald Trump. 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.

Last month, during an interview on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan,” Biden weighed in on the Epstein drama dogging the president.

“[It is] beyond a doubt that he [Trump] and Epstein were very close friends for a very long period of time. They spent enormous time together — they spent an enormous amount of time together around young women,” he said on the show last month.

“According to his biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania,” he added.

Biden, like the Daily Beast and others, was citing author Michael Wolff, who has made bold and dubious claims about the president in the past that have been subject to dispute.

The former first son stressed that he was referencing other sources beyond Wolff.

“What I said was what I have heard and seen, reported and written, primarily from Michael Wolff, but also dating back all the way to 2019 when the New York Times, I think … reported that sources said that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to be the person to introduce Donald Trump to Melania at that time,” he said in the interview that dropped Thursday.

A cocky Biden also suggested he would love to get to a deposition with the Trumps over the Epstein claims.

“I also think they’re bullies, and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me,” he said. “If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein — if the president, the first lady want to do that, and all of the known associates around them at the time of whatever time that they met, I’m more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it.”

Both the president and first lady have said they met in 1998 during a New York Fashion Week party at Kit Kat Klub in New York City hosted by Paolo Zampolli.

Melania recounted in her memoir that the future president sat down next to her and began the conversation. The two tied the knot years later in 2005.

“I found myself drawn to his magnetic energy,” she wrote.

Brito, who is serving as Melania’s counsel, ripped Wolff as a “serial fabulist” and accused Hunter of amplifying his comments to draw attention.

“Given your vast history of trading on the names of others – including your surname – for your personal benefit, it is obvious that you published these false and defamatory statements about Mrs. Trump to draw attention to yourself,” Brito chided in his letter to Hunter.

Brito had given Hunter until Aug. 7, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. to comply with his demands for a retraction and apology.
