The episode spilled out into public over the past week, after the subsequent case finally went to trial in the U.K."
"Last week and this week, a 22-year-old Russian citizen named Matvei Rumiantsev stood trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court, in east London, for assaulting his ex-girlfriend in January 2025, as well as other charges. Her identity has not been publicly revealed. In the trial, it came out that Trump had called police in London to report a physical attack he said he witnessed while on a video call with the woman."
