First lady Melania Trump is going after Hunter Biden for what she says are “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements,” the former first son made linking her to disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

On Aug. 6, Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, wrote to Biden demanding he retract the comments made in an interview with Andrew Callaghan.

She will “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.

Biden’s comments, falsely claiming Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, were widely circulated on social media and in various media outlets.

Brito said that Biden’s "source" for the false statements is "serial fabulist Michael Wolff, whose lies were published by The Daily Beast in the article titled ‘Melania Trump ‘very involved’ in Epstein Scandal: Author.’" […]

Brito demanded, on behalf of the first lady, that Biden "immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the video and any and all other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published."

Brito also demanded, on behalf of the first lady, that Biden "immediately issue an apology for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump." (Fox News)

She’s not just a nice, good-looking lady Hunter...

[Herodes]

The August 7th deadline has come and gone...

[Texas Eagle]

What’s that sh*t he said about his own laptop?

[Jolla]

His response was of course vulgar.

BTTT

[blackdog]

A new livelihood. Follow Hunter Biden (Rob Biden), around with a camera and microphone, asking him questions which will draw a response of slander and libel.

[Sequoyah101]

Vulgar and low class is all he knows. That is how he was taught.

[Leaning Right]

Typical trash from Hunter Biden.

But it’s difficult for a public figure to sue for defamation. Plus (if I’m not mistaken) the plaintiff has to show that actual damage of some sort was done.

No matter! I hope Melania continues on with her lawsuit. If nothing else, it will shine some light on those cockroaches.

Vulgar and low class is all he knows. That is how he was taught.

Yeop. Apple-Tree...

[Fedora]

Hunter’s uncle owned an island a few miles from Epstein’s island.

[gloryblaze]

I guess Abbe Lowell hasn’t been paid?

I doubt her lawsuit will go very far, but some lawfare is in fine order for Hunter to display his sterling personality.

[V_TWIN]

I wish ill will on no one, but something tells me this dude will never reach the age his dad has.

[V_TWIN]

If this gives him even 30 seconds of distress I have absolutely no problem with it.

[simpson96]

His actual response is way down in the article.

He said: “F*** that.”

[jacknhoo]

Every single member of the Biden family are utter trash.

I can imagine what the lying incestuous child molester, adulterer, thief, feces artist, and drug addict said.

[Pontiac]

If it does give him distress he will simply self medicate the stress away.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Bobby Biden needs to get his butt busy painting for his commie friends. He’s gonna need some big bucks. That Larry King interview from 2005 is going to nail his ass.

Billion $’s? So that would cost him what, three . maybe four of his paintings.

It won’t help in the liberal blogosphere. Even if Hunter retracts or loses the court case, the liberal blogosphere will keep repeating his lies, like they do the Russia hoax.
