President Donald Trump has shared his reaction to first lady Melania Trump’s $1 billion defamation threat against former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
Speaking with Fox News Radio’s Brian Kilmeade on Thursday, Trump said that he is supportive of his wife’s possible pursuit of legal action against his former rival’s second-oldest son.
Trump’s reaction came after Hunter Biden recently claimed in an interview with YouTuber and journalist Andrew Callaghan that the disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein initially introduced the first couple.
Melania Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, denied the claims in an Aug. 6 letter addressed to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell. The letter was first reported Wednesday by Fox News Digital.
Brito called Biden’s claims about the first lady false, defamatory and “extremely salacious.” Melania Trump’s legal team has demanded that Biden retract his comments and apologize while vowing to sue if he does not.
