Melania’s $1 billion defamation suit won’t keep Hunter Biden quiet

Hunter Biden re-entered the political limelight last month on 28-year-old Andrew Callaghan’s podcast, filling three hours with stories from his life, including his battle with drug addiction. Those three hours were apparently not enough. In a subsequent episode last week, Biden spent another hour giving his two cents about Jeffrey Epstein. That video has wracked up 1.3 million views and has landed him a $1 billion lawsuit from the First Lady.

Melania is kindly asking Hunter to apologize for and retract the following statements: “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep” and “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, that’s how Melania and the First Lady and the President met… Yeah, according to Michael Wolff.”

So Hunter returned to Callaghan’s podcast yesterday. Sitting serenely in wire rocking chairs, Callaghan explained he was giving Hunter Biden a platform “to apologize to the First Lady for the statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein.”

Biden paused and gracefully replied, “Uh, f*ck that.” He added with a laugh, “That’s not going to happen.” Biden explained that his statement was made based off reporting from the New York Times and statements made by Michael Wolff.

The podcast then cut to a Zoom call between Callaghan and Wolff. Callaghan asked if Epstein directly introduced Melania to Trump, and Wolff responded, “I don’t know what exactly the direct introduction- I think that [Epstein] was at that party where they met, so I mean, again, I think it’s very important to be clear about this, this was a circle of people who knew each other.”

Well, that’s old news now, isn’t it, Wolff? Cockburn is pretty sure even those living in the most remote recesses of the Earth have seen images of President Trump with Epstein.

Alas, while it’s not looking too likely Melania will squeeze any remorse from her accusers, she might at least get some money.
