A woman has claimed in London court that Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son, is responsible for saving her life during an alleged assault. The woman, whose name remains undisclosed due to UK laws concerning sexual assault cases, says that a phone call she made to Barron led to police arriving to the scene in January 18 of last year. She alleges that her ex-boyfriend, 22-year-old Matvei Rumianstev, was envious of her friendship with the president’s son.
Barron Trump called London police after alleged assault
Bodycam footage from the police that was played in front of a jury at the Snaresbrook Crown Court reveals how Barron Trump allegedly helped to save the woman’s life, per Metro.
After the police arrived on the scene, they told her that a person in the United States contacted them, though the person didn’t say who he was. The woman then identified him, saying “I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son.” She then explained that she made a Facetime call to him earlier that day.
A phone call Barron made to police operators at 2:23 AM on January 18, 2025, was also played in court where he is heard saying, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up.”
He then gave the address of the woman to the police and urged that they come to her aid immediately. “It’s really an emergency, please,” Barron said, “I got a call from her with a guy beating her up.”
An officer at the scene was heard telling a colleague in the footage, “So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son.” To corroborate that the woman had indeed called Barron on Facetime during the assault, the police asked her to contact him again.
Complying, the woman is heard saying on a call, “Hello, Barron – did you call the police or anything?”
“I had someone call the police,” Barron replied, recounting to the police what had occurred during the Facetime call, which he says lasted 15 seconds at most. “She called me. I picked up the phone expecting a nice hello or something. I just saw the 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 continued, “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.”
In court, Rumiantsev’s barrister Sasha Wass KC challenged her claim that the president’s son actually saved her life.
“He helped save my life,” the woman responded. “That call was like a sign from God at that moment.”
She said that the phone call gave her a chance to get back up after she was “on my knees begging.”
The woman told the jury that she had been in a relationship with Rumiantsev for six months when he allegedly attacked her, claiming that he had assaulted and strangled her after getting into a heated argument. Months afterward, the woman told police that she had been raped by him on two separate occasions, the first in November 2024 and then again during the day of the incident on January 18. The defendant is also accused of attempting to pressure her into withdrawing the complaints she made to the police.
During the cross-examination, Wass suggested that Rumiantsev had restrained her when she acted “in an angry and violent way” and challenged her sexual assault claims as a “wholly untrue and fabricated account.”
The woman responded, “I didn’t invent that. That would be completely evil and disgraceful toward people who have been in that situation.”
Rumiantsev has denied the charges of assault, ABH (Actual Bodily Harm), rape, intentional strangulation, and perverting the course of justice. The trial is still ongoing.
