In some great news for First Lady Melania Trump as she contemplates legal war with the unrecalcitrant former First Son, Hunter Biden, an old video has emerged that shows Hunter’s claims about her alleged connection to Epstein being a total lie, key evidence that could help her win her seemingly soon-coming $1 billion lawsuit against him.
For reference, Hunter made the same claims that have led to forced retractions from other media figures. In the interview with YouTuber Andrew Callaghan on August 6, titled “Hunter Biden Returns,” the former first son claimed “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.” He added, “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met.” That is false.
As the statement was false and very defamatory, Melania’s legal team demanded that Hunter retract his statement, noting that the claim has been debunked and that Hunter needs to apologize or he will face a significant lawsuit. Hunter responded with fury and rude vulgarity. “F— that. That’s not gonna happen,” the former first son snapped. He added, “I also think they’re bullies, and they think that a billion dollars is going to scare me.”
Now, an old video has re-emerged in which the now-president and first lady explain how they were introduced and met, a story that further shows the falsity of Hunter Biden’s mean-hearted and seemingly slanderous claims. That video is an interview in which the couple sat down with CNN’s Larry King and described how they met.
In the 2005 interview, Melania, then 35 years old, explained that the two met in “1998.” Continuing, the now-first lady explained that when they met, “It was a fashion week. September 1998.” That led to King asking if anyone “introduced” them, and Melania replied that they had not been introduced by anyone but instead met naturally.
Smiling, the president’s wife explained that they had not been “introduced” by anyone, but instead just happened to come across each other when they were at the same party during the 1998 fashion week, and so met naturally. She said, “Well, no, we were both at the same party, and that’s how we met.”
President Trump then chimed in and commented on how he was left starstruck by Melania’s beauty despite being there to meed someone else. He said, “I went crazy. I was actually supposed to meet somebody else. It was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania, and I was supposed to meet this supermodel. I said ‘forget about her, who is the one on the left?’ And it was Melania.”

So, it appears that Melania has a good case against Hunter. For reference, the legal notice sent by Melania’s legal team called out Hunter for trying to drum up money with scandal. Brito said, “The timing of this video is evident and underscores the actual malice behind the decision to publish it given the plain falsity of the statements. Given your vast history of trading on the names of others—including your surname—for your personal benefit, it is obvious that you published these false and defamatory statements about Mrs. Trump to draw attention to yourself.”
Making his demand, Brito demanded that Hunter “immediately issue a full and fair retraction of the video and any and all other false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump in as conspicuous a manner as they were originally published” and issue a formal apology “for the false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading and inflammatory statements about Mrs. Trump.”
Concluding, Brito noted that Hunter faces a massive suit if he doesn’t back down, saying, “If you do not comply with the above by August 7, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. EST, Mrs. Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce her legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for over $1 Billion Dollars in damages. You are on notice.”
