Hunter Biden apology refusal to Melania Trump after Epstein remark fuels fresh tensions as deadline passes without retraction.
Hunter Biden apology to Melania Trump over his claim that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump is not going to happen; and the political ripples are growing.
The deadline for Biden to retract his statement expired on 7 August 2025, but sources familiar with the situation say he has neither complied nor expressed any intent to do so.
Instead, Biden reportedly leaked the retraction request letter to a journalist, amplifying public attention on the dispute.
Melania Trump’s representatives have interpreted this move as a sign that Biden may be concerned about potential liability.
Their camp believes the leak was a calculated choice, possibly to shape public perception ahead of any legal steps.
The controversy stems from Biden’s earlier assertion linking Epstein to the Trumps, a claim that Melania’s team has strongly denied.
With the apology window now closed, the matter could escalate beyond public statements.
The former First Lady’s office has maintained that the allegation was baseless and damaging, reiterating their readiness to defend her reputation.
