Hunter Biden was spotted walking with his Secret Service agent in Malibu on Thursday when his lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to former President Donald Trump’s lawyers urging him to stop saying that the cocaine found in the White House belonged to the first son.
Hunter’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, asked the ex-president’s legal team to urge Trump to stop discrediting the Bidens, fearing an escalation of violence like on January 6 or the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi.
In recent Truth Social posts, Trump has made wild claims about the Biden family’s drug use – present on Thursday that the Secret Service dropped the investigation because the cocaine was “for use by Hunter, and probably Crooked Joe, to give some life and energy to this utter disaster of a president!”
“You know, if Mr. Trump doesn’t, then Mr. Biden didn’t commit or accuse the allegations your client alleges,” Lowell told Trump’s lawyers. ‘[A]and that the Biden family was not in the White House (much less the vestibule) at the time the cocaine was found.”
Lowell’s broader point to Trump’s legal team was that the ex-president’s rhetoric was dangerous.
“I am sending this letter to demand that your client, former President Donald Trump, stop making public statements about my client that are both defamatory and likely to incite Mr. Trump’s followers to take action against Mr. Biden and that could result in harm to his or his family,” Lowell said in the letter, which DailyMail.com received a copy of.

“This isn’t a false alarm,” Lowell continued. “We are just one such social media post away from another incident, and you need to make it clear to Mr. Trump — if you haven’t already — that Mr. Trump’s words have caused harm in the past and threaten to do so again. to do if he doesn’t stop.’
Lowell also told Trump’s lawyers they “need not respond,” but urged them to tell the former president and White House hopeful in 2024 “how his incitement could further hurt people and get himself into even more legal trouble.” can deliver’.
“I’m a little surprised I have to send this because it seems Mr. Trump is currently facing so many legal issues that he no longer wants to create accountability for saying and doing things that could result in damage and injury, and because it looks like you now have enough to deal with defending your client in various arenas and there’s more to come than dealing with one more legal issue and case,” Lowell said.
While Trump has already been indicted twice this year — on state charges in the Stormy Daniels hush money case and on federal charges of mishandling classified documents — Special Counsel Jack Smith is still overseeing an investigation into the ex-president’s role in 6 January. .
Trump had already been impeached for inciting an insurrection, but was not convicted in the US Senate.
Trump and some of his Republican allies have claimed the cocaine belonged to Hunter because of his well-documented history of drug abuse and addiction — including in his memoirs and in photos on the so-called “h***’s laptop.”

Hunter was with the first family at Camp David when the drugs were discovered in the West Wing on July 2.
He then spent the July 4 holiday at the White House along with wife Melissa and son, baby Beau.
At the time, the discovery of cocaine was public, but there was inconsistent reporting on where it was found.
On July 5, Trump claimed on Truth Social that the cocaine was for the Bidens.
“Does anyone really believe that the COCAINE found in the west wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for use by anyone other than Hunter and Joe Biden,” the former president wrote.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did the administration a disservice by refusing to say a final no when asked on July 7 to say “once and for all” that the cocaine did not belong to a member of Biden’s family. used to be.
Instead, she attacked the reporter.
“You know, there’s been some irresponsible coverage of the family so I have to report it here,” she said. “And I’ve been very clear.”
“I was clear two days ago, when I talked about this over and over again when I was asked a question, as you know, and the media reported this – the Biden family wasn’t here, they weren’t here, they were at Camp David she continued. They weren’t there Friday, they weren’t there Saturday, they weren’t there Sunday. They weren’t even there on Monday. They came back here on Tuesday.’
The Bidens, including Hunter, had been to the White House that Friday — before leaving for their Camp David trip.
This week, President Joe Biden escaped the cocaine controversy by traveling to Europe for the NATO summit.
He returns to Washington late Thursday night.
Earlier in the day, the Secret Service announced that the investigation into the drug discovery was closed and it could not be determined who brought the bag to the West Wing.
The FBI lab “developed no latent fingerprints and there was not enough DNA for research comparisons.”
Republicans quickly complained that it was some kind of cover-up.
Meanwhile, Hunter was back on the West Coast and spotted walking near the Malibu Pier and Farm restaurants, rustic celebrity hotspots built on a pier over the Pacific Ocean.
