Quote:Prince Andrew book edited to remove Epstein claims about Melania Trump.
A new book about the Duke of York has been edited to remove a claim that Jeffrey Epstein introduced Donald Trump to his wife Melania.
The allegation was published in around 60,000 copies of Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, by Andrew Lownie, which paints a damning portrait of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
The retractions are being made after Melania Trump threatened to sue Hunter Biden for claiming that paedophile financier Epstein introduced her to her future husband.
Lawyers for the US first lady wrote to Mr Biden, the son of the former US president Joe Biden, accusing him of making “false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements” about her.
The letter, sent on Aug 6, is said to have demanded that Mr Biden retract his comments and issue an apology or face a $1bn (£726m) legal action.
Mr Trump said he had encouraged his wife to sue, insisting on Fox News Radio last week: “Jeffrey Epstein had nothing to do with Melania and introducing.” He added: “It was another person actually… but it wasn’t Jeffrey"
In the book Lownie described Prince Andrew as “easy prey for a rattlesnake like Epstein”, adding: “Epstein played Andrew. The prince was a useful idiot who gave him respectability, access to political leaders and business opportunities. He found him easy to exploit.”
Mr Biden claimed during a wide-ranging interview with the film-maker Andrew Callaghan, broadcast earlier this month, that unreleased documents relating to Epstein would “implicate” Mr Trump.
"Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning."
