In January of last year, Barron Trump, President Trump's youngest son, made an emergency call to London police after witnessing a woman being assaulted during a video call. The details of the call emerged during the trial of Matvei Rumiantsev, a Russian citizen charged with assault, strangulation, and rape against his former partner. The woman testified that Trump's call "helped save my life." Trump will not testify in person, but his emergency call and an email he sent to the police are being used as evidence. In the email, Trump described the woman as someone "who I am very close with" and detailed what he witnessed during the video call. Rumiantsev denies all charges, claiming the woman was violent towards him. The trial is taking place at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London.
