Melania Trump is reportedly threatening to sue a YouTuber for releasing a video that implies her son has autism.

She has hired a lawyer who has sent the YouTuber, James Hunter, a letter threatening legal action if he doesn't take down the video, the Daily Mail reports. Hunter's video highlights behavioural traits of Melania's child, Barron, that could be signs of autism.

Attorney Charles J. Harder wrote that Barron 'is not autistic' and refers to comedian Rosie O'Donnell as a 'bully' after she shared the video.

O'Donnell shared the video with the caption: 'Barron Trump Autistic? if so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic'.

O'Donnells own three-year-old daughter, Dakota, was diagnosed with the condition in September. She has since defended herself, saying that her post came 'from the heart'. She wrote: "My 3.5 yr old daughter dakota was diagnosed in September with HFA - high functioning autism...

"When I saw the anti bullying video that mentioned Barron, it spoke to the symptoms many ASD kids have. It was educational and informational.

"This autism subject had nothing to do with Donald though I admit he does trigger me in all ways.

"I have no ill will for his children or any children and if u knew anything about me u would know that (sic)."

We'll just have to wait and see if anything comes of the threat of legal action.
