Trump, who was then 18, could be heard providing the woman's address and then said: It's really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up. Asked how he knew the woman, he replied: I met her on social media. She's getting really badly beat up and the call was about eight minutes ago, I don't know what could have happened by now."
"When police arrived at the woman's property, bodycam footage from the officers recorded her saying: I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump's son.
