<p>Former President Joe Biden&#8217;s embattled son Hunter Biden had a blunt, two word response to first lady Melania Trump&#8217;s threatened $1 billion defamation suit over comments he&#8217;d made suggesting that she had ties to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein: &#8220;F*** that!&#8221;</p>
<p>Channel 5&#8217;s Andrew Callaghan, who gave the interview in which Biden made the offending claims, shared video on Thursday of Biden&#8217;s reaction to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/melania-threatens-hunter-biden-with-1b-lawsuit-false-defamatory-disparaging">threat of a lawsuit</a>.</p>

<p>Callaghan introduced the video posted Thursday by splicing in clips of Biden&#8217;s offending comments — and then turned the question over the Biden, saying that perhaps he was giving him the platform to apologize as the first lady had demanded.</p>
<p>&#8220;F*** that,&#8221; Biden laughed, and then after a brief pause, &#8220;That&#8217;s not going to happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>The younger <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youve-chosen-to-book-spectacle-chuck-todd-unloads-on-media-outlets-platforming-hunter-biden">Biden</a> had claimed during a YouTube interview with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan that &#8220;Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep.&#8221; He later added, according to the complaint, &#8220;Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady — and the president met.&#8221;</p>

<p>Alejandro Brito, attorney for Melania Trump, sent a letter demanding an apology and threatening a lawsuit to Hunter Biden and his attorney, Abbe Lowell, on August 6.</p>
<p>&#8220;These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums,&#8221; Brito wrote. &#8220;Indeed, the video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Consequently, you have caused Mrs. Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm,&#8221; Brito continued, threatening a $1 billion defamation suit if the demands were not met.</p>
<p>&#8220;Failure to comply will leave Mrs. Trump with no choice but to pursue any and all legal rights and remedies available to her to recover the overwhelming financial and reputational harm that you have caused her to suffer,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
<p>Brito also noted that The Daily Beast, another outlet that had published the same claims based on information published by &#8220;serial fabulist Michael Wolfe,&#8221; had already apologized.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Brito addressed Biden directly. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
