Reference News, August 17 report - According to the UK's Daily Telegraph website on August 14, US President Donald Trump claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was not the one who introduced him to First Lady Melania. Previously, Melania had threatened to sue Hunter Biden for fabricating this "rumor" and demand $1 billion in damages.
The report said that Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, had claimed last month that Trump met his wife through the pedophile financier Epstein. After being charged with sex trafficking, Epstein died in prison in 2019.
The First Lady warned that she would take legal action against Hunter Biden if he did not retract his "defamatory and inciting" statements.
Trump publicly refuted Hunter Biden's claims on the 14th, saying that he met his wife through "another person," but did not mention the person's name.
The report stated that President Trump is under pressure due to his past friendship with the pedophile criminal Epstein, as the US government has refused to fully disclose the documents it holds about Epstein.
On the morning of the 14th, when interviewed by Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, Trump accused Hunter Biden of fabricating lies to defame the First Lady and said he had encouraged her to sue Hunter.
Trump said, "Go ahead. You know, I've been doing well lately in handling such lawsuits... And Jeffrey Epstein had nothing to do with Melania or introducing us."
He said, "They are doing this to defame, they are fabricating lies. I mean, I can tell you how it really was, actually (it was) another person... but not Jeffrey Epstein."
The report said that Hunter Biden publicly expressed contempt for the First Lady's legal threats. When asked in an interview on a podcast whether he would retract his statements, he replied, "Forget it. That won't happen." (Translated by Cao Weiguo)
