IN FULL

A woman told an English court that President Donald J. Trump‘s son Barron Trump “helped save my life” after he contacted police when he realized she was being assaulted, according to testimony heard this week in London. Jurors were told that Barron Trump was in the United States when he received a FaceTime call from the woman, with whom he is friends, and soon realized she was being attacked. Speaking to a police operator, Trump said, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up.”

Trump described what he saw on the video call: “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 made the report around 2:20 AM London time in January last year.

The court heard that the alleged attacker, Russian national Matvei Rumiantsev, had earlier become angry after attempting to contact the woman. According to reports, prosecutors said Rumiantsev later went to her home, punched her repeatedly, kicked her in the stomach, and shouted insults at her during the video call with Barron, calling her a “whore” and a “slut.”

During her testimony, the woman praised Barron’s actions. “He helped save my life,” she said. “That call was like a sign from God at that moment.”

Jurors also heard the recording of the emergency call, during which the operator asked Barron how he knew the woman. Trump appeared frustrated by the questioning and urged police to act quickly. He also told operators that it took him several minutes to find the correct phone number for British emergency services from abroad.

Rumiantsev is facing multiple charges, including assault, two counts of rape, intentional strangulation, and perverting the course of justice.

The case comes amid broader concerns about violent crime and public safety in the United Kingdom, particularly in London. Police have particularly struggled to contain violence at large public events, with mass arrests becoming increasingly common, including more than 140 arrests on the opening day of London’s annual Afro-Caribbean Notting Hill Carnival last year.

Surprise! 6ft 9 Son of Billionaire President is Popular With Chicks in College.

Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of President-elect Donald J. Trump, is reportedly increasingly popular with female students at New York University (NYU), where he has been attending classes since September. The youngest of Donald Trump’s children is not only focused on business studies but is also gaining attention as a “ladies’ man,” some have claimed.

An insider mentioned that Barron stands out not only for his academic pursuits but also for his stature and appearance. His height, reported to be about 6 feet 9 inches, contributes to his noticeable presence on campus. Despite differing political views, Barron’s charm appears to extend across a diverse range of students.

Melania Trump, Barron’s mother, recently discussed her son’s college experience on Fox and Friends. She noted that Barron is aware his experience differs significantly from that of his peers, given his family’s high-profile status. Moreover, Melania disclosed that Barron has been involved in his father’s political endeavors, offering advice during the recent election campaign.

She highlighted that Barron’s understanding of modern communication trends, such as podcasts and streaming platforms, was instrumental in shaping the campaign’s outreach strategies. Barron’s influence is credited with helping Donald Trump successfully connect with youth demographics during the election.

Some have claimed that Barron advocated for President Trump to go on podcasts like the Joe Rogan Experience and others during the presidential campaign. The President-elect previously disclosed that Barron had advised him politically in the past.

Democrat mega-donor John Morgan also praised Barron in an interview following President Trump’s victory, saying, “Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign].”

Dem Mega Donor Says Barron Trump Smarter Than Entire Harris Campaign.

Democrat mega-donor John Morgan believes that the youngest son of President-elect Donald J. Trump is more savvy at political campaigning than anyone on Kamala Harris’s team.

Speaking to Fox News, Morgan said that Kamala Harris was trying to “imitate” former President Barack Obama by recently visiting Hawaii, saying, “She is not Barack Obama; she has no talent.”

“It turns out, Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts,'” Morgan said, adding: “Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris [campaign].”

On Harris, Morgan said she should “go away and never come back,” noting that she and her campaign spent almost $2 billion and have resorted to new fundraisers to pay off existing debt. “If you can’t run your campaign, you damn sure can’t run the country,” he said.

Earlier this week, Morgan stated that Harris and her top campaign staff should be blackballed from politics in the future.

“The same thing is going to follow Harris for the rest of her career. She cannot be trusted with the money, and the donors are going to be, like, ‘Where is this money?'” he said.

Despite the criticism, Harris has told her advisers to keep her political options open. Rumors have floated that she may consider another presidential run in 2028 or running for governor of California in 2026.

Trump Reveals Son Barron Advises Him on Politics.

Former President Donald J. Trump recently spoke about his youngest son, Barron, and his budding interest in politics. In a radio interview with Philadelphia’s Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Trump spoke of his son’s enthusiasm for politics and academic acumen and revealed that the former First Son sometimes advises him on politics.

“He’s a smart one… he’s a great guy,” Trump said of his son Barron, who will graduate from high school next week. The former President continued: “And he’s really been a great student. And he does like politics.”

Trump said that Barron occasionally offers political advice. “It’s sort of funny. He’ll tell me sometimes, ‘Dad, this is what you have to do,'” he told the Kayal and Company hosts.

Barron, who recently turned 18, graduated from high school on May 17. Despite Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan — who is presiding over the Mahnattan-based hush money trial — initially ruling that the former President would not be allowed to attend Barron’s graduation. However, the decision has since been revised, and the former President can now attend his son’s graduation ceremony.

The National Pulse reported on Thursday that Barron Trump will serve as a Republican National Convention delegate for Florida, casting a presidential nomination vote for his father. Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump Boulos will also serve as delegates to the Republican Party convention on July 15-18.

Barron Trump has been the target of repeated corporate media attacks. Last week, The National Pulse revealed that the left-wing Daily Beast website fabricated a story about the former President‘s youngest son after failing to confirm rumors alleged by the site’s new ‘Chief Content Officer’ Joanna Coles.

Barron Trump Steps Into Political Arena With GOP Role.

Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, is taking on his first political role as he prepares to graduate from high school. The Republican Party of Florida has selected the 18-year-old son of former First Lady Melania Trump as one of its at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention. Half-siblings Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump will also act as Florida delegates.

“We are fortunate to have a great group of grassroots leaders, elected officials, and members of the Trump family working together as part of the Florida delegation to the 2024 Republican National Convention,” said Florida GOP chairman Evan Power.

“‘Florida is continuing to have a great convention team, but more importantly we are preparing to win Florida and win it big,” he added.

Barron, then aged 10, famously joined his father on stage for his victory speech following the 2016 election. He became the first presidential son to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. in the 1960s.

FAMILY INTERFERENCE. 

In recent weeks, the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s trial in Manhattan, Juan Merchan, threatened to keep the former president from attending Barron’s high school graduation.

“Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus ‘Biden Case’ which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought?” Trump railed after the threat was issued. Merchan later backed down.

Far-left news site The Daily Beast reported Barron will likely attend New York University after graduation. However, it later transpired the story had been knowingly fabricated.

‘Let’s Hope It’s True!’ – Media Invented Barron Trump Story After FAILING to ‘Confirm’ Rumors.

The left-wing Daily Beast website fabricated a story about President Donald J. Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron, after failing to confirm rumors alleged by the site’s new ‘Chief Content Officer’ Joanna Coles, according to a new report about the matter.

New York Magazine‘s Intelligencer reported Tuesday:

On her first week on the job as chief creative and content officer, Joanna Coles carried a tip into the newsroom: A friend told her that Barron Trump would attend NYU for college. She told a group of staff to write it up for a new gossip column she wanted, called “Beast Buzz.” After trying to confirm the story, the team came up empty, but Coles pressed them to publish. The task fell to Tracy Connor, the editor-in-chief who eschews her office for a simple desk among reporters and editors. As she wrote up the blind item without a byline, Coles said in a voice loud enough for all to hear: “We will see how it does. Let’s hope it’s true!”

The incident was not isolated, with the Daily Beast recently peddling a number of other stories without sourcing, nor confirmation, according to a number of employees seeking new jobs in the wake of Coles’s transformation of what they once claim was a “news” site:

By the end of her first week, at least a dozen staff were looking elsewhere for jobs or hoping for buyouts, and by the end of her second, two were on the way out. For those who remain, fear of layoffs is widespread and morale is so low that some have been crying behind closed doors.

True to form, she recently assigned another un-bylined story about “The Look-Alike Women in Donald Trump’s Orbit” focusing on “head-turning brunettes of a certain stripe.” It’s not always clear which ideas Coles wants to pursue and which she is just throwing out, according to one person. For example, according to another staffer, Coles proposed a list of “the five most obese members of Congress.” The piece wasn’t assigned.

She did assign two other stories that made editors scramble to kill them for fear of embarrassment. One was to follow up on a rumor that Donald Trump passed gas in his criminal trial. She assigned the politics team to reach out to gastroenterologists about whether the emissions were “stress farts or sleep farts.” Another was assigned with the headline “Is Protesting the New Sex for Gen Z?” making the case that the campus protests across the country were largely being done for a thrill rather than true concern for Palestinian or Israeli lives.

Trump Blasts NY Judge for Attacking His Family (While Placing a ‘Gag Order’ Over His Daughter’s Links to Democrats).

Donald Trump slammed New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan for hinting he would block him from attending the graduation of his youngest son, Barron.

Merchan, who has already threatened to have Trump arrested if he misses a single day of his so-called “hush money” trial to campaign for the presidency, has declined to rule on whether or not the former president can be excused for his son’s high school graduation: “It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial,” he said.

“My son has graduated from high school, and it looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son, who has worked very very hard,” Trump told reporters.

Later, he posted a more extensive statement on Truth Social, demanding: “Who will explain for me, to my wonderful son, Barron, who is a GREAT Student at a fantastic School, that his Dad will likely not be allowed to attend his Graduation Ceremony, something that we have been talking about for years, because a seriously Conflicted and Corrupt New York State Judge wants me in Criminal Court on a bogus “Biden Case” which, according to virtually all Legal Scholars and Pundits, has no merit, and should NEVER have been brought?”

“The Judge, Juan Merchan, is preventing me from proudly attending my son’s Graduation. Seems very unfair, doesn’t it? But this whole event is unfair,” he added.

Trump’s lawyers asked Merchan to recuse himself before the trial, citing his family’s links to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Merchan’s daughter has shared manipulated images of the former president behind bars, apparently in the hope her father will imprison him.

Merchan refused to recuse himself and banned Trump from “attacking” his family.

Judge May Force Trump to Miss Son Barron’s High School Graduation.

The Democrat-connected judge presiding over the New York hush money trial of former President Donald Trump acknowledged that he received a request to excuse the former President from the court on May 17 so that he could attend his son Barron Trump‘s high school graduation in Florida. New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan said he wouldn’t immediately rule on the request, adding: “It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”

Earlier on Monday, Merchan announced the trial schedule, noting that the court would work through lunch on April 22 and April 23 — the first two days of the Jewish celebration of Passover. He added that the court would not convene on the last two days of Passover, April 29 and April 30.

In addition to former President Trump’s request to attend his son’s graduation, one of District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s prosecution team members requested the court adjourn on June 3 so they may attend their child’s graduation. Aside from the requested adjournments and court schedule around Passover, the judge announced that the trial would not convene on Wednesdays.

The initial stage of the trial, jury selection, began on Monday. That process is expected to take upwards of two weeks, meaning the argument stage of the trial won’t start until the end of April or early May.

Judge Merchan recently expanded a gag order on former President Trump, effectively barring him from mentioning the judge’s family members and those of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The former President has used social media to draw attention to the fact that Judge Merchan’s daughter has numerous ties to prominent Democrat politicians, including New York Attorney General Letitia James.
