特朗普夫妇与拜登夫妇出席两人的竞选辩论
据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)2025年8月15日报道,特朗普鼓励其夫人梅拉尼亚就她与爱泼斯坦关系的言论状告拜登前总统之子亨特·拜登并索赔十亿美元,主要内容如下:
唐纳德·特朗普总统8月14日上午证实,梅拉尼娅·特朗普的律师正威胁要对亨特·拜登采取法律行动,并表示是他让梅拉尼娅“推进”此事的。
他在福克斯新闻广播中对主持人布莱恩·基尔米德说:“你知道,我最近在这些诉讼案中表现还不错。我当时说,推进吧。杰弗里·爱泼斯坦和我与梅拉尼娅的相识毫无关系。但他们就是这样,编造故事。”
采访记者以及福克斯新闻获得的律师函副本显示,这一法律威胁源于亨特·拜登在油管(YouTube)的一次采访中就特朗普夫妇与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关系所发表的言论。
亨特·拜登曾因吸毒、嫖娼、偷税漏税和非法拥有枪支而被受到起诉
油管系列节目《第五频道》主持人安德鲁·卡拉汉在其频道上表示,他已收到第一夫人的法律要求,要求撤回上周发布的一段视频,若不删除这段视频,梅拉尼娅·特朗普将索赔10亿美元,并要求亨特·拜登正式道歉。该视频目前已有130万次观看。
卡拉汉在8月14日发布的与亨特·拜登的后续采访开头说道:“我手里拿着一封美国第一夫人写给亨特·拜登先生的法律要求函,要求撤回《第五频道》那段名为《亨特·拜登回归》的视频。在该视频中,亨特·拜登先生就杰弗里·爱泼斯坦、梅拉尼娅·特朗普与唐纳德·特朗普之间的关系发表了一些推测性言论。”
福克斯新闻还公布了一封致亨特·拜登及其律师的信函副本,信中要求亨特·拜登撤回在油管采访中“针对特朗普夫人发表的虚假、诽谤、贬低及煽动性言论”。
当被问及这封信函时,梅拉尼娅的发言人尼克·克莱门斯在一份声明中表示:“美国第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普的律师正积极采取行动,确保那些散布恶意、诽谤性谎言的人立即撤回言论并道歉。关于第一夫人与总统相识的真实情况,详见她的畅销书《梅拉尼娅》。”
亨特称是爱泼斯坦为梅拉尼亚和特朗普拉的皮条
亨特对道歉要求做出了强硬回应,他在8月14日发布的另一段视频采访中告诉卡拉汉:“去他的。这绝不可能。”
这些法律要求针对的是8月5日卡拉汉节目中的一段视频,在该视频中,亨特·拜登援引迈克尔·沃尔夫的说法,谈及了特朗普夫妇与爱泼斯坦的关系,暗示是犯有性侵儿童罪的爱泼斯坦为特朗普和梅拉尼亚拉的皮条。
在卡拉汉对亨特·拜登的最新采访中,两人谈及了第一夫人的法律要求,拜登表示,这可能会导致总统和第一夫人在宣誓作证时澄清他们与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关系。
亨特·拜登在8月14日发布的采访中表示:“我想对他们说:如果他们愿意坐下来宣誓作证,澄清与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦关系的性质。如果总统和第一夫人愿意这么做,还有当时他们身边所有已知的关联人士,无论他们是在何时相识的,我都非常乐意提供平台让他们这么做。”
亨特·拜登补充道:“事实是,我认为这些诉讼威胁不过是故意的干扰手段,因为这根本不是谁介绍谁认识谁的问题。我压根不明白,这怎么就构成诽谤了。”
Trump told Melania to ‘go forward’ with legal action against Hunter Biden over Epstein relationship comments. By Shania Shelton, Aileen Graef, Betsy Klein on CNN. August 15, 2025.
President Donald Trump confirmed Thursday morning that Melania Trump’s attorneys are threatening legal action against Hunter Biden, saying he told her to “go forward.”
“You know, I’ve done pretty well on these lawsuits lately. And I said, go forward. Jeffrey Epstein has nothing to do with Melania and I introducing. But they do that. They make up stories,” he told Brian Kilmeade on Fox News radio.
The legal threat centers on a claim Biden made in an interview on YouTube about the Trumps’ relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, according to the journalist who conducted the interview and a copy of the attorney letter obtained by Fox News.
Andrew Callaghan, host of the YouTube series Channel 5, said on his channel that he had received a legal demand from the first lady asking to retract a video from last week, which currently has 1.3 million views. Melania Trump is seeking $1 billion in damages if they don’t take down the video. She also wants a formal apology from Hunter Biden.
“In my hand is a legal demand letter addressed to Mr. Hunter Biden from the first lady of the United States, demanding a retraction of Channel 5’s video called ‘Hunter Biden returns’ in which Mr. Biden here makes some speculative comments about the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein, Melania Trump and Donald Trump,” Callaghan said at the beginning of a follow-up interview with Biden posted on Thursday.
Fox News also posted a copy of a letter, addressed to Hunter Biden and his lawyer, that asked Biden to “retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Mrs. Trump” during the YouTube interview.
“First Lady Melania Trump’s attorneys are actively ensuring immediate retractions and apologies by those who spread malicious, defamatory falsehoods. The true account of how the First Lady met President Trump is in her best-selling book, ‘Melania,’” her spokesperson Nick Clemens said in a statement when asked about the letter.
Hunter had a defiant response to the request for an apology telling Callaghan in another video interview posted on August 14, “F**k that. That’s not gonna happen.”
The legal demands center on an August 5 video of Callaghan’s show, in which Hunter Biden spoke about the Trumps’ relationship with Epstein, citing Michael Wolff.
In Callaghan’s latest interview with Hunter Biden, the two discuss the legal demand from the first lady, and Biden suggests it could result in the president and first lady clarifying their relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in a deposition.
“I have this to say to them: If they want to sit down for a deposition and clarify the nature of the relationship between Jeffrey Epstein — if the president and the first lady want to do that and all the known associates around them at the time, whatever time that they met, I’m more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it,” Biden said in the interview released on Thursday.
“Fact of the matter is that, you know, I don’t think that these threats of a lawsuit add up to anything other than a design distraction, because it’s not about who introduced whom to whom. I don’t know how that in any way rises to the level of defamation to begin with,” Biden added.
