According to sources inside the White House, First Lady Melania Trump has initiated legal action against Hunter Biden. This news broke just 30 minutes ago via a report from CNN. The legal move is in response to comments Biden made alleging that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Donald Trump—a claim that the First Lady disputes and has deemed defamatory.
What Hunter Biden Alleged—and the First Lady’s Firm Response

Hunter Biden made the remarks during a YouTube interview with Andrew Callaghan on August 5, referencing biographer Michael Wolff. Biden repeated Wolff’s assertion that “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump,” a claim widely disseminated across digital media and news platforms.
Melania Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, sent a formal demand to Biden to publicly retract the statement and issue an apology. The letter described the remarks as “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory,” asserting they have caused “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” The demand includes a looming $1 billion lawsuit if Biden fails to comply.

Biden refused to comply with the demand. In a follow-up interview posted on August 14, he defiantly stated, “F— that. That’s not gonna happen.” Biden asserted he was relying on sources like Michael Wolff and referenced multiple media outlets dating back to 2019 in support of his claim.
Political and Legal Implications
The sources inside the White House indicate this legal confrontation is part of a broader strategy to protect the First Lady’s reputation and reinforce her version of events. President Trump publicly supported Melania’s decision, revealing that he encouraged her to take action and offered to let her use his legal team.
This isn’t the first time similar claims have surfaced. Prominent figures including author Michael Wolff and political strategist James Carville have made statements hinting at an Epstein connection, both of which were later retracted or apologized for following pressure from Melania’s legal team.
Public Reaction and Media Frenzy
News of the potential lawsuit immediately captured national attention. headlines highlighted Melania’s harsh legal warning and Biden’s unapologetic defiance, stirring debate over free speech, defamation, and the impact of high-stakes litigation in political disputes
Observers note that Biden’s refusal to back down may provoke further legal escalation or force the Trumps to substantiate their own account of how they met. Meanwhile, sources inside the White House have suggested that further legal moves or statements might follow as the case evolves.
Background: The Trump–Epstein Connection
While the Epstein introduction claim is highly contested, there is well-documented history between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. They maintained a friendship from the late 1980s into the early 2000s, frequently appearing together at events and even traveling on Epstein’s plane. However, Melania and Donald Trump’s standard narrative is that they met at a 1998 New York Fashion Week party, hosted by model agent Paolo Zampolli. What Comes Next?
As per sources inside the White House, the legal deadline for retraction and apology passed without a response from Biden. Litigation now appears imminent. This case may set a precedent in how public figures handle defamatory statements in a politically charged environment.
Meanwhile, public attention remains fixated on how both sides will proceed—and whether further revelations might come from either camp.
