I got a call from her with a guy beating her up,” he added. The call just came to light recently in Snaresbrook Crown Court. Police bodycam footage from the night of the attack shows officers asking the woman if Matvei was streaming at the time of the attack. She reportedly hesitated at first, but when police told her the call came from the United States, she gave more information. “I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son,” she said. The footage then shows police asking the woman to contact Barron Trump to confirm that he made the call. “Hello, Barron – did you call the police or anything?” The victim asked. He confirmed he had someone call the police for her because what he saw on the FaceTime call concerned him. “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. Barron Trump added that he tried to contact the woman back that night, but wasn’t successful. “I called you guys – that was the best thing I could do,” he said. “I wasn’t going to call back and threaten things to him because that would just make the situation worse.” The victim confirmed that Barron Trump’s call was like a miracle. “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment,” she said. This story’s featured image is by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images.
