Barron Trump saved woman’s life by calling police after FaceTime call showed ex-boyfriend attacking her, UK woman says

The revelation came during the ongoing trial of 22-year-old Matvei Rumiantsev, during which jurors in Snaresbrook Crown Court were played the call to police, per Metro UK. Rumiantsev has been charged with assault, actual bodily harm, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation and perverting the course of justice.

Trump told 999 operators in a call made at 2:23 am on January 18, 2025, "I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up." He gave operators the woman’s address, adding, "It’s really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up."

The court also saw body camera footage from when officers arrived at the scene, in which officers asked the woman if Rumiantsev had been streaming during the attack. She was told by authorities that someone in the US had been in touch with the police.

She told them, "I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son." She explained the FaceTime call in the footage, after which one of the officers told a colleague, "So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son." He added, "This female is friends with Donald Trump’s son. She was on a FaceTime with him when this assault happened and he’s called us."

The officers asked if she could call Trump back to confirm, and she was heard in the footage asking, "Hello, Barron. Did you call the police or anything?" He was heard replying, "I had someone call the police."

Trump told the officers, "She called me. I picked up the phone expecting a nice hello or something. I just saw a ceiling and could hear screaming. I could see a guy’s head on the phone, and then the camera turns to her crying and getting hit." He said that it lasted up to 15 seconds before the call ended.

"I called you guys – that was the best thing I could do. I wasn’t going to call back and threaten things to him because that would just make the situation worse." The woman described the call in court as a "sign from God." She said, "He would call me," adding that she had missed "a few" calls from him before the call that led to him contacting the police.

Rumiantsev’s lawyer Sasha Wass KC challenged the woman’s "saved my life" comment, with the victim replying, "He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment."

The woman said that she had been in a relationship with Rumianstev for around six months before the alleged attacks took place, and claims that he assaulted her after they got into an argument, including strangling her. Rumianstev was allegedly jealous about her friendship with Trump.

Months after the attack, she told police that she had been raped twice by Rumiantsev, once in November 2024, and again hours before police arrived on January 18. He is also accused of attempting to pressure the woman into withdrawing her complaints.

Wass suggested that Rumiantsev restrained the woman after she behaved in "an angry and violent way" toward him on the evening of the attack. She also said, "You invented this wholly untrue and fabricated account that he raped you on those two occasions – you were never raped."

"I didn’t invent that," the woman replied. "That would be completely evil and disgraceful toward people who have been in that situation."
