Hunter Biden’s lawyers warn Trump to stop his harmful social media attacks.

Hunter Biden’s Lawyers Demand Cease and Desist from Trump’s Legal Team

Hunter Biden’s legal team has taken action against Donald Trump’s legal team, issuing a cease and desist letter. The letter warns of potential “physical and violent action” from Trump’s followers towards Mr. Biden and his family if Trump continues to post about him.

“I am a little surprised to have to send this because it would seem that Mr. Trump is currently facing enough legal problems that he would not want to create any more liability for saying and doing things that could result in harm and injury, and because it appears you have enough to do in defending your client in various arenas now and yet to come than to have to deal with one more legal issue and case,” wrote attorney Abbe David Lowell, who represents Mr. Biden.

The letter, obtained by ABC News, was sent on Thursday. Mr. Lowell emphasizes that Trump’s followers are easily triggered and points to the events of January 6, 2021, as evidence of the tragic consequences that can result from inflammatory rhetoric.

“We have seen that what might pass as such a phrase when uttered by rational people is heard by too many in this country as some terrible injustice for which they must take physical and violent action,” Mr. Lowell wrote.

He draws a parallel between Mr. Biden’s situation and the attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was targeted in his own home last October. The attacker, David DePape, was a Canadian citizen in the country illegally and expressed a desire to kidnap the Speaker.

“Mr. Biden was also on that attacker’s hit list,” Mr. Lowell wrote. “This is not a false alarm.”

While Mr. Lowell does not directly link the attacker to Trump’s social media activity, he references another case involving Taylor Taranto, who was arrested near former President Barack Obama’s residence after reposting a post from Trump that contained what he claimed was Obama’s address.

“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,” Mr. Lowell said.

“Mr. Trump has invoked my client’s name on his social media accounts to harass and incite his followers on a near daily basis since Mr. Trump himself was indicted (e.g., mentioning my client more than 20 times in posts in July alone),” he added.

Texts to China

Mr. Lowell also highlighted several instances where Trump posted about or commented on news events involving the Biden family. One such example was on June 22, just two days after Mr. Biden pleaded guilty to federal crimes. The House Ways and Means Committee released testimonies from two IRS whistleblowers who had been involved in the investigation into Mr. Biden’s taxes.

The investigators had verified text messages sent by Mr. Biden to a Chinese business partner, in which he demanded payment and threatened to use his father’s power and influence in retaliation.

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to
