Former president Joe Biden&#8217;s son, Hunter, claimed in a recent interview that\u00a0Melania\u00a0was introduced to now-husband\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0by the convicted paedophile.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Speaking to filmmaker Andrew Callaghan, Biden claimed: &#8220;Epstein introduced Melania to Trump &#8211; the connections are so wide and deep,&#8221; adding elsewhere in the interview that the alleged Epstein files would &#8216;implicate&#8217; President Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Melania&#8217;s legal team issued Biden a letter,\u00a0the\u00a0BBC reports, demanding he retract the &#8216;false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory&#8217; statement and apologize, or face a lawsuit of at least $1 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The letter notes Biden&#8217;s claim was partially attributed to journalist Michael Wolff, who said in a since-deleted Daily Beast interview that Melania was &#8216;known&#8217; to an associate of Epstein when she met Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU resizable-image_lowRes__5OkaL resizable-image_fadeOut___ZcLy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 33vw, (max-width: 768px) 50vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=256&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 256w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=384&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/blt5f303656faea8197\/689da9a858df436599666282\/GettyImages-2155936346.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"Hunter Biden made the comments in a recent interview (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" data-nimg=\"fill\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"image-credit_imageCredit__YMlqS\">Hunter Biden made the comments in a recent interview (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The outlet retracted the story after receiving a letter of their own from Melania&#8217;s attorneys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">On the archived version of the Daily Beast story is a correction that reads: &#8220;After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump&#8217;s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">There\u2019s no verified evidence that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. In fact, Melania said she and her now-husband met at a 1998 modelling agency party.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Melania would&#8217;ve been around 28 years old, and Trump around 52.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The BBC asked Melania&#8217;s lawyer, Alejandro Brito, about the legal threat. He referred the publication to a statement from her aide, Nick Clemens, which reads: &#8220;First Lady Melania Trump&#8217;s attorneys are actively ensuring immediate retractions and apologies by those who spread malicious, defamatory falsehoods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Epstein, a wealthy American financier, had built up a sprawling network of powerful connections before being exposed for the serial\u00a0sex trafficking\u00a0of underage girls. After a controversial 2008 plea deal, he was arrested again in July 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges; days later, he was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell,\u00a0officially ruled a suicide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div class=\"article-image_imageWrapper__ANtPE\">\n<div class=\"resizable-image_wrapper__LRQlr\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU resizable-image_lowRes__5OkaL resizable-image_fadeOut___ZcLy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 430px) 33vw, (max-width: 768px) 50vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=256&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 256w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=384&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 384w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=640&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 640w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=750&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 750w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=828&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 828w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1080&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1200&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=1920&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=2048&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.ladbible.com\/resize?type=webp&amp;quality=1&amp;width=3840&amp;fit=contain&amp;gravity=auto&amp;url=https:\/\/images.ladbiblegroup.com\/v3\/assets\/blt949ea8e16e463049\/bltb79a92ab46fd6c72\/689daa7d1b0f636c6cc82ded\/GettyImages-1192977807.jpg 3840w\" alt=\"Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Mar-a-Lago club in February 12, 2000.
