In a dramatic turn of events, former First Lady Melania Trump has issued a legal ultimatum to Hunter Biden, demanding a sweeping apology and staggering damages exceeding one billion dollars. The move stems from a highly inflammatory claim Hunter made during an interview with director Andrew Callaghan: he asserted that Donald Trump was introduced to Melania by the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Melania’s lawyers swiftly pounced, officially labelling the accusation as “false, insulting, defamatory, and provocative”, and charging that it has significantly harmed her reputation.

Her legal team has dispatched a formal letter demanding that Hunter retract the statement and issue a public apology—or face the consequences. If he fails to comply, Melania is ready to pursue full litigation for both moral and financial damages. Interestingly, the media outlet Hunter relied on—presumably The Daily Beast—has since removed the offending article and issued a retraction, acknowledging the absence of any factual evidence to support his claim. According to established accounts, Donald and Melania Trump first met at a November 1998 modelling-industry party, shortly after his divorce from his second wife.

This development unfolds amid renewed attention on the so-called “Epstein files” – purported confidential documents that could implicate high-profile figures. President Donald Trump had previously vowed to release these files if re-elected, but the Department of Justice and FBI have stated, as of July 2025, that no compromising list exists. With tensions escalating between the Trump and Biden families, this high-stakes legal drama could attract intense media and judicial scrutiny in the coming weeks.
