Former first son Hunter Biden is facing major legal trouble again.
This time, it’s first lady Melania Trump who is threatening legal action against the disgraced son of former President Joe Biden.
And the details of this case could finally put the younger Biden in the poor house for good.
According to multiple reports, Melania Trump has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for $1 billion over claims he made about first lady regarding the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Attorneys for Melania Trump sent a letter demanding Biden retract statements he made about the first lady regarding Epstein in an interview on Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan and published on YouTube earlier this month. The letter accused Biden of causing “overwhelming financial and reputational harm” to the first lady.
“This correspondence serves as a demand … that you immediately retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump,” the letter says. The interview “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. Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm.”

The letter, sent by Alejandro Brito, Trump’s litigation counsel, quotes two comments from Biden in the video in which he claims that Epstein first introduced Melania Trump to President Trump.
In the aforementioned video, Biden cites an article published on The Daily Beast written by “serial fabulist” Michael Wolff.
“Following receipt of our cease-and-desist demand letter just a week ago, The Daily Beast issued an apology to Mrs. Trump and retracted the false and defamatory statements contained in the Article by deleting it in its entirety,” Brito wrote.
“Despite this, you have unjustifiably relied upon Mr. Wolff’s false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump and maliciously elected to republish them.”
Lawyers state that Biden must issue a public retraction of his comments and an apology to Trump, according to the letter.
The message also tells Biden to save all evidence and communications related to the claims and the interview.
According to Melania Trump’s legal team, if demands are not met, “Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for over $1 Billion Dollars in damages. You are on notice,” the letter says.
Biden appeared on the YouTube news show Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan twice in videos published on July 21 and August 5, where he went on a series of profanity-laden rants that went viral, racking up over 3.6 million views.
