    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.

  • President Joseph R Biden Jr pardons son Hunter Biden

    On Sunday (December 1), President Joseph R Biden Jr said he pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, after stating he would not interfere with the legal proceedings against him.

    In his statement, President Biden explains why he changed his mind: “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

    The President continued, “Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently. 
     
    The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.   
     
    No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough. 
     
    For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”
