Hunter Biden escalates rift with Melania Trump over Jeffrey Epstein allegation

An emerging rift between Melania Trump and Hunter Biden escalated Thursday when the son of former President Joe Biden issued an expletive-laden response to the first lady's demand that he apologize for an allegation he made about her alleged prior ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

I only can go by what people are saying, I don't know," Hunter Biden told Callaghan.

"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 ... I'm more than happy to provide them the platform to be able to do it," he said.

Melania Trump supports pedophilia too. I have no issue with Hunter bringing up epstein, and the republicans being pedophiles from top to bottom.

for the screenplay, the racist undertones. It was a flop financially. Melanie Griffith carried the show. At least from the reviews I read, and IMHO.

Rupert Turd-och put an end to their trail-blazing. Only when it suits him will he release a story. Another rich pig not paying his fair share of taxes.

Hiding is more like it!

Ever notice she shows up when it is financially convenient for her? I wonder how much it is going to cost TACO Don when Melania accompanies him to jolly ole England, as well as her entourage to dress her, do her hair and makeup. I pay my hairdresser $45 every other month for trims plus tip. $95 for a perm plus tip twice a year.

Must be nice having your every whim taken care of without even wondering about costs.
