On Thursday, Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell sent a cease-and-desist letter to Donald Trump’s legal team, warning the former president to stop spreading dangerous rhetoric about the President Joe Biden’s son on social media.
The letter, addressed to four of Trump’s lawyers, accused the former president of repeatedly defaming Hunter Biden and cited several examples from recent months. Lowell argued that Trump’s posts and language “could lead to [Hunter Biden’s] or his family’s injury.”
This week, Trump suggested that a small baggie of cocaine found near a visitor entrance at the White House might have belonged to Hunter Biden, who is a recovering addict. Lowell noted in the letter that Trump has frequently targeted Hunter Biden, and his name has appeared more than 20 times in Trump’s posts in July alone.
The cease-and-desist letter was sent in an effort to protect Hunter Biden from further harm. Lowell demanded that Trump “cease and desist from making public statements about my client which are both defamatory and likely to incite Mr. Trump’s followers to take actions against Mr. Biden and which could lead to his or his family’s injury.”
The letter was first reported by ABC News. It is unclear if Trump’s legal team has responded to the letter.
