A friend of Barron Trump told a UK court he saved her life when he dialed police after seeing her being attacked by her ex-boyfriend on a FaceTime call. The woman reached out to Trump in the midst of a violent dust-up with her former beau Matvei Rumianstev, 22, who allegedly started battering her because he was jealous of her friendship with the president’s son, Metro UK reports. Trump, who was in the US at the time, quickly called for help, telling emergency operators, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up.”

“It’s not the monsters under the bed you need to be worried about, it is the ones you invite into your home.” These are the words of a woman who has spoken of how she believes a forensic marking spray saved her life. When her ex-partner attacked her one day and smashed her car up, she was left fearing for her life.

The disturbing 2002 incident was one of multiple brushes with the law Crimo's mom Denise Pesina and dad Bob Crimo Jr had with cops prior to Monday's massacre in Chicago that killed seven. It is unclear if the hot car incident left Crimo, now 21, with any physical or mental injuries that may have ultimately led to the horrific shootout. Police were also called to his family's home 10 times,...

Wednesday afternoon, while many were riveted by the heartbreaking remarks of Rachel Morin's mother at the White House Press Briefing, the Department of Justice released information from Kilmar Abrego-Garcia's 2019 arrest and deportation proceedings that should put a lot of the whisperings about the "Maryland Father's" gang affiliations and alleged lack of due process to rest.Abrego-Garcia was detained by Prince Georges County, Maryland officials on March 28, 2019 in a Home Depot parking lot in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ past condemnations of domestic abuse and sexual assault perpetrators are coming back to haunt her following a report of her now-husband “forcefully slapping” an ex-girlfriend more than a decade ago. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff, a 59-year-old Hollywood lawyer, struck his then-flame, a successful New York attorney, in the face “so hard, she spun around” as the two waited in the valet line following an event at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012, three anonymous friends of the woman told the Daily Mail. Harris critics swiftly seized on the alleged abuse — purportedly prompted by Emhoff’s...

According to a complaint filed Feb. 9 in federal court, Tom Mosgrove spent Valentine’s Day in 2022 in Santa Clara County jail after his then-wife called the police and reported that he pushed her into a closet and blocked her from leaving.

The Rahimi case oral arguments have been heard by the Supreme Court. It was bumped to the head of the line by the Biden administration. At its core, the case is not about domestic violence. It is about whether fundamental rights, enumerated in the Bill of Rights, can be nullified by a judge in a civil hearing with almost no due process. No jury trial, no right to a lawyer, no criminal conviction. From the Fifth Circuit decision on the case: Perhaps most importantly, the Government’s proffered interpretation lacks any true limiting principle. Under the Government’s reading, Congress could remove...

Rep. Lauren Boebert's son called 911 in December to report that his father, Jayson Boebert, had gotten physical with him and was "throwing" him around the house and that he didn't know why.

Jayson Boebert denied to the deputies — and to Insider — that he had gotten physical with the teen. … the congresswoman is suing...
