Hunter Biden urges Melania Trump deposition with expletive-laden clapback after $1 billion threat

The New York Post reports Hunter Biden does not appear intimidated by lawsuit threats from first lady Melania Trump.

“F—— that. That’s not going to happen,” Biden said during a Thursday interview on the YouTube show "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan."

“I don’t believe in guilt by association alone, but the connections are … so glaringly obvious that I think they’re trying to use other things to distract,” Biden continued. “And I also think they’re bullies, and they think that a billion dollars if gonna scare me.”

Melania Trump threatened to sue Biden for $1 billion if he doesn’t retract statements linking her to accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. She took issue with comments Biden referenced claiming Epstein introduced the first lady to now-President Donald Trump. Melania Trump’s lawyer, Alejandro Brito claimed Biden’s statements are false, defamatory and “extremely salacious,” which are causing the first lady “to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm.”

But Biden says he’s repeating information from other sources.

“What I said was what I have heard and seen, reported and written, primarily from Michael Wolff, but also dating back all the way to 2019 when the New York Times, I think … reported that sources said that Jeffrey Epstein claimed to be the person to introduce Donald Trump to Melania at that time,” Biden said in the interview that attracted Trump’s attention.

Trump’s lawyers have had recent success in pushing for retractions, reports The New York Post. Her team issued similar threats to the Daily Beast, which retracted an article, and it pressed Democratic strategist James Carville to apologize and retract a podcast episode in which he speculated there was an “Epstein connection” involving the first lady.

But Biden said in his video that he is eager to get to the deposition phase of the Trumps’ suit.

“If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of their relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and the first lady and the president — if they want to do that, and all the known associates around them at the time they met — I’m more than happy to provide them the platform to do it,” Biden said.
