**Melania Trump Demands Retraction of Hunter Biden’s Comments — A Defamation Dispute Escalates**
First Lady **Melania Trump** has formally demanded that **Hunter Biden** retract comments he made about how she met her husband, former President **Donald Trump**, after the former president publicly backed her position and encouraged legal action.
The dispute centers on remarks Biden made during an interview in which he repeated claims drawn from past reports suggesting that convicted sex offender **Jeffrey Epstein** was the person who introduced Melania to Donald Trump. Biden attributed his comments to sources like biographer Michael Wolff and media accounts.
Melania Trump’s legal team, led by attorney **Alejandro Brito**, says the statements are “false, defamatory and extremely salacious,” arguing they have caused her “overwhelming financial and reputational harm.” They issued a letter setting a deadline for Biden to *immediately retract* the comments and apologize — or face potential legal action seeking more than **$1 billion** in damages.
Biden has **refused to retract or apologize**, responding bluntly that he will not comply with the demand. In subsequent remarks, he stood by his statements and resisted the idea of issuing a formal apology.
Former President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Melania, echoing that the Epstein-linked account is not true and backing her push for legal recourse.
At stake is more than just a personal feud: the case highlights tensions over public narratives, defamation standards involving high-profile figures, and how controversial claims about well-known individuals are handled legally and politically in the media age.
