Hunter Biden Blasts Melania Trump’s $1 Billion Lawsuit Threat Over Epstein Comments: ‘F*** That’

Hunter Biden isn’t mincing words when it comes to First Lady Melania Trump’s bombshell lawsuit threat. Biden refused a reported request from Melania’s lawyer that he apologize for disputed claims he repeated about her alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein, telling YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan in a video published Aug. 14 that saying sorry isn’t an option for him. “F*** that. That’s not gonna happen,” he said. According to a letter from the first lady’s legal counsel obtained by Fox News Digital, her litigation team will seek $1 billion in damages if an earlier interview between Callaghan and Biden in which the former First Son alleged that Epstein introduced Melania and her husband, President Donald Trump, isn’t taken down and if Biden refuses to apologize. The letter reportedly blasts Biden’s claim as “false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory,” noting that the original video and subsequent reposts have made the disputed comments viewable to “tens of millions of people worldwide” and caused “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” After brushing off the apology request in his most recent sit-down with Callaghan, Biden went on to suggest he’d welcome an opportunity to facilitate an official discussion of the matter. “I also think they’re bullies, and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me,” he said. “I have this to say to them: 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,” he said. Access Hollywood has reached out to representatives for the first lady and an attorney for Biden. As for the president himself, he shared his support for Melania pursuing the lawsuit. “You know, I’ve done pretty well on these lawsuits lately. And I said, go forward,” he told Brian Kilmeade on Fox News radio Aug. 14. “Jeffrey Epstein has nothing to do with Melania and I introducing. But they do that. They make up stories.” Melania previously shared in her 2024 memoir that she and Trump met at New York City’s Kit Kat Klub in 1998. They married six years later and went on to welcome son Barron, now a student at NYU.
