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.

Speaking to Channel 5, Biden alleged that Epstein introduced Melania to now-president Donald Trump – remarks which were widely disseminated on social media and reported by media outlets around the world.

He stressed it was ‘beyond a doubt’ that Trump and the paedophile were ‘very close friends’, adding: ‘They spent an enormous time together.

‘According to [Trump’s] biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania.

‘That is how…the first lady and the president met.’
