Amidst calls for the notorious Epstein files to be released to the public, the First Lady is seemingly taking no prisoners when it comes to accusations over her husband's involvement.

As such, Melania Trump has this week filed serious legal action against one man in particular, for explicit linking both herself and the President to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Even more convenient for the 55-year-old is that said individual just so happens to be Hunter Biden - the son of Trump's left-leaning former electoral enemy, Joe Biden.

During an interview with filmmaker Andrew Callaghan conducted earlier this month, Hunter alleged that Epstein - who committed suicide in prison in 2019 - had introduced the Trump couple back in the 90s.

Claiming unreleased documents would 'implicate' the pair in the paedophile's crimes, the attorney and businessman previously went on to insist: "Epstein introduced Melania to Trump - the connections are so wide and deep."

By the couple's own recollection, they met at a modelling agency party in 1998.

In a lawsuit subsequently filed by the mother-of-one - who shares 19-year-old son Barron with Trump - insisted Hunter's comments were 'false, disparaging, defamatory and inflammatory.'

Melania's legal team also warned the 47th President's son that if he were not to retract his claim, he'd face a $1b suit.

Thirdly, the suit adds that Melania suffered 'overwhelming financial and repetitional harm' as a result of Hunter's claims.

Lastly, Hunter was demanded to retract his claim and issue an apology, after which he was accused of having a 'vast history trading on the names of others', and his comments accused of being a way of him to 'draw[ing] attention to yourself.'

Hunter has since issued a brutal response after being asked in a new Channel 5 interview whether he plans to respond to Melania's threat, to which replied: "F**k that, that’s not going to happen."

Michael Wolff was the first individual to document the claims mentioned, after which the journalist told the Daily Beast that Melania was an associate of Epstein in an article that was later retracted.

He also received a similar letter from Melania's team of lawyers.

Despite the Daily Beast's article since having been removed, the archived version still reads: "After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump'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."

LADbible Group previously contacted Hunter Biden's attorney for a comment.
