HBO host Bill Maher took aim at Hunter Biden on Friday, commenting on the legal threat posed by First Lady Melania Trump after the ex-first son made false claims about her introduction to President Donald Trump.
Maher said Hunter “better be worried” after Melania announced she would sue him for $1 billion.
“That’s not the joke part,” Maher told his audience on Real Time. “I really like this where she says she’s going to sue him for a billion dollars.” Maher added, “If Hunter loses, it’s going to be weird for him writing a woman a check because she’s not a prostitute.” The quip drew laughter and applause.
The lawsuit centers on a podcast video released by Hunter Biden on YouTube’s Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, where he claimed that Melania Trump was introduced to Trump by the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Melania has demanded that Hunter apologize and remove the video, or face the legal consequences, per the New York Post.
Hunter brushed off the threat in the interview. “F*ck that. That’s not going to happen,” he said with a smirk, signaling no intention of complying with Melania’s demand, as Resist the Mainstream previously reported.
Both Trump and the first lady maintain that they first met in 1998 during New York Fashion Week at a party hosted by businessman Paolo Zampolli.
This contradicts Hunter’s claims linking the meeting to Epstein.
Maher’s commentary came as the story attracted national attention, blending celebrity culture, politics, and legal drama.
Maher highlighted the irony of Hunter Biden, previously embroiled in multiple legal and political controversies, facing a billion-dollar defamation suit from the first lady.
Hunter’s legal history adds context to the dispute. In 2024, he was found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm. He also pleaded guilty to willful refusal to pay $1.4 million in taxes.
Despite these convictions, Hunter was later pardoned by former President Joe Biden.
Federal investigators have examined other allegations involving Hunter Biden.
In 2023, Justice Department Tax Division prosecutor Jack Morgan cited nine instances in which Hunter allegedly communicated with prostitutes and coordinated their interstate travel, according to emails released by the House Ways and Means Committee. These investigations have cast a long shadow over the former first son.
Melania’s decision to pursue legal action reflects growing frustration with Hunter’s public statements.
The first lady has made it clear she will protect her reputation through the courts if necessary. Legal experts note that a defamation lawsuit of this magnitude—$1 billion—could have major repercussions for Hunter, especially given the high-profile nature of the claims.
The situation underscores the intersection of politics, celebrity, and media.
Hunter’s public remarks prompted immediate backlash, while Melania’s response demonstrates a willingness to leverage legal authority to counter false narratives. Maher’s commentary highlights the cultural relevance of the feud, framing it as both a legal and public spectacle.
Hunter has made no indication that he will retract his statements or settle with Melania Trump, leaving the possibility of a drawn-out legal battle.
