Melania Trump has threatened to sue Hunter Biden for £740 million ($1 billion) over a claim linking her to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Lawyers representing the first lady sent Joe Biden’s son a letter accusing him of unleashing ‘false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements’ about her.

In a video interview earlier in August, Hunter Biden, the son of former US president Joe Biden, claimed that "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.

The first lady's lawyer has demanded that Joe Biden's son retract claims he made about how she met her husband.
