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 and her husband to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
“F–k that. That’s not going to happen,” Biden said with an arrogant smile during an interview on YouTube show “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan” released Thursday.
The first lady’s team revealed Wednesday that it had put the scandal-scarred former first son on notice for suggesting that Epstein introduced Melania to her husband, President Trump.
Melania’s office has made similar threats to other media figures and outlets. Last month, for example, the Daily Beast retracted an article that peddled similar claims after being warned of legal action.
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 reported by Fox News.
Despite his bravado, Biden could find himself in a lot of financial trouble if he were sued. The 55-year-old has claimed in court documents that he is saddled with “significant debt in the millions of dollars range” amid sagging art and book sales and mounting legal bills.
Last month, during an interview on the same YouTube channel, Biden weighed in on the Epstein drama dogging the president. --->READ MORE HERE

First lady Melania Trump is putting Hunter Biden on $1 billion notice over what she claims are "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" made about her, demanding he immediately remove and retract the content and issue an apology or face legal action, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the letter that Alejandro Brito, attorney serving as litigation counsel for the first lady, sent to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, Aug. 6.
Brito demanded that Biden "immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump," which were contained in a video interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and posted to Youtube in early August.
Fox News Digital reached out to Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan for comment and did not receive a response.
"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," Brito wrote.
In the video interview, titled "Hunter Biden Returns" video earlier in August, the former first son claimed "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep."
Biden also claimed that "Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met."
"These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums," Brito wrote. "Indeed, the video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide."
Brito added: "Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm." --->READ MORE HERE
