Barron Trump, the son of the U.S. President, recently testified about an alarming incident from last year involving his female friend. During a video call, he observed what he described as an assault occurring in real-time. This incident led him to take quick action, prompting him to alert UK authorities.
Details of the Incident
The emergency call made by Trump took place on January 18, 2025. A British court revealed that Trump was on the phone with the unidentified woman when he witnessed the distressing event. He promptly called the police to report the situation, stating, “I’m calling from the US, I just got a call from a girl… she’s getting beat up.”
Court Proceedings
The details emerged during the trial of Matvei Rumiantsev, a 22-year-old accused of serious charges, including:
- Assault
- Actual bodily harm
- Two counts of rape
- Intentional strangulation
- Perverting the course of justice
Rumiantsev has pleaded not guilty to all allegations. His legal team opted not to make a comment when contacted.
The Victim’s Testimony
In her testimony, the woman noted the critical role Trump played during the ordeal. She stated, “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment.” Her account highlights the urgency and seriousness of the situation she was in during the video call.
Continuing Developments
The trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court was ongoing at the time of this report, with both legal teams presenting their cases. El-Balad reached out to the White House for further comments, but no response has been provided yet.
