Hunter Biden’s lawyer sends cease-and-desist letter to Trump over inciteful social media posts
An attorney for embattled first son Hunter Biden sent a cease and desist letter to former President Donald Trump’s legal team claiming Trump’s posts on social media could lead someone to injure the first son or his family, according to a report.
One of Hunter Biden’s lawyers, Abbe Lowell, cited Trump’s Tweets leading up to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riots in 2021 as evidence of the 45th president inspiring violence, according to the letter, obtained by ABC News.
The attorney additionally noted the hammer attack on former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul at their home in October, and last month’s arrest of a man found with a slew of weapons and ammunition near former President Barack Obama’s D.C. home.
“This is not a false alarm,” Lowell wrote. “We are just one such social media message away from another incident, and you should make clear to Mr. Trump — if you have not done so already — that Mr. Trump’s words have caused harm in the past and threaten to do so again if he does not stop.”
Lowell also blasted Trump for suggesting that the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House may have belonged to Hunter Biden, a recovering drug addict who has gone public with his tales of crack cocaine abuse.
“I’d bet they already know [who the cocaine belongs to], but just in case, it could be done in 5 minutes. Is it Crooked Joe and his wonderful son, Hunter? Release the findings, release the tapes. We can’t have a crackhead in charge of our Nuclear Arsenal!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday.
The Secret Service concluded its 11-day investigation into the narcotics find without identifying any White House Staffer or visitor or who it may have belonged to. The fruitless probe outraged congressional leaders who were incredulous that authorities could not find the culprit in one of the most secure buildings in the world.
“You know, if Mr. Trump does not, that Mr. Biden has neither committed nor been accused of the charges that your client is claiming … and that the Biden family was not at the White House (let alone in the vestibule) in the period when the cocaine was found,” Lowell wrote.
Lowell added in the letter that Trump’s team “need not respond,” but requested they pass the message on to Trump and tell him “how his incitement can further hurt people and cause himself even more legal trouble,” ABC News reported.
