Trump called the alleged victim on 18 January last year, the court heard.
Shortly after placing the call, the US president’s fifth child contacted the police and said she was being assaulted.
“I’m calling from the US, uh I just got a call from a girl, you know, she’s getting beat up,” he said, according to a transcript of the call released by the Crown Prosecution Service.
“This was happening about eight minutes ago. I just figured out how to, how to call someone. Uh, uh it’s really an emergency.”
When asked by the operator how he knows the woman, he said: “I don’t think these details matter, she’s getting beat up but OK fine, also I met her on social media, I don’t think that matters.”
The operator responded: “Can you stop being rude and actually answer my questions?”
Trump was later asked by police to provide a witness statement and said in an email on 2 May that what he saw had been “very brief indeed but indeed prevalent”.
He said he had not expected that his call to the woman would be answered because of the time difference, but it was picked up by “a shirtless man with darkish hair”.
“This view lasted maybe one second”, he said, adding the view then flipped to the victim getting hit while crying.
“This whole interaction had lasted five to seven seconds.”
He continued: “I made two of my friends call the Met Police in the UK, even though they are in the US.
“As per evidence I do not have any, I was told by the victim who I am very close with that this individual was giving her difficulty for a long time.”
