Barron Trump contacted London police after witnessing a woman being assaulted, according to a trial transcript. The call, made in January of last year, was released by prosecutors as evidence in the trial of Matvei Rumiantsev, who faces charges of assault and rape.
Trump, calling from the U. S., stated he received a call from the woman who was "getting beat up" and that the incident occurred approximately eight minutes prior to his call.
He expressed urgency and a desire to help, though he initially struggled to provide specific details requested by the emergency operator, such as the victim's name and age, emphasizing that the immediate concern was the ongoing assault. The operator asked Trump to be less rude and to answer questions clearly to facilitate the response.
Trump eventually mentioned meeting the woman on social media but reiterated that the details were less important than the urgent situation. The alleged victim's identity is protected for legal reasons, and the White House declined to comment on the matter.
