Hunter Biden sends cease and desist letter to Trump, claiming his 'easy-to-trigger followers' might commit violence

Attorneys for Hunter Biden sent a cease and desist letter to former President Donald Trump on Thursday, demanding that he stop making public statements that might incite violence among his "easy-to-trigger" followers.

The letter comes after critics of the president's son speculated that a bag of cocaine found inside the White House might belong to Hunter Biden.

"I am sending this letter to make a demand that your client, former President Donald 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," read the letter.

The letter went on to quote Trump's posts on social media and what they referred to as "thinly veiled calls to action to his easy-to-trigger followers."

Among those was a message from Trump expressing anger that Hunter Biden wasn't given a "death sentence" for charges related to tax crimes and lying on a gun license application.

The letter referenced an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and also an incident where a Jan. 6 defendant was found with guns and ammunition in a van near the Obama residence after Trump posted the address on social media.

Earlier on Thursday, law enforcement officials said the investigation into the cocaine found at the White House was closed and that they were unlikely to ever discover who left the bag.

Trump had responded previously on social media that there was no doubt the cocaine belonged to Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

Hunter Biden has been mired in various scandals owing to his struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, including the birth of his child to a former stripper he reportedly met at a strip bar in Washington, D.C. He has since settled a child support lawsuit that also forbade the girl to carry the Biden surname.
