During an appearance on the “Sage Steele Podcast,” Kathie Lee Gifford shared a chilling story from 31 years ago, crediting Donald Trump with saving her life and her daughter’s. While preparing for the Miss America Pageant, the FBI informed her husband, Frank Gifford, that a dangerous criminal was targeting Kathie.
Frank reached out to Trump, who immediately offered to take care of the situation, sending his security team to ensure their safety. Kathie later learned of the death threat through a newspaper and received round-the-clock protection until the suspect was captured.
Kathie expressed her deep gratitude, saying Trump had saved their lives and would do so again. Her story highlighted a lesser-known side of Trump and underscored the strength of their friendship, which she continues to cherish.
