Kathie Lee Gifford Praises President Donald Trump for Saving Her From a ‘Psychopathic Murderer’ 31 Years Ago: ‘I Will Love This Man for My Whole Life’

The former talk show host noted that Cassidy was only six weeks old at the time and the pair were accompanied by her nanny. The authorities also told Frank that Kathie must stick to her original travel plans so as not to tip off the criminal.

“They said, ‘We would like you, Mr. Gifford, to just keep your schedule and have your wife keep her schedule, because this guy, we don’t want him to know that we’re on to him,'” Kathie shared, adding that the individual had “raped and tortured” his own aunt.

“I never heard it until just the other day. Somebody told me how she finally got away from [him],” she said of the aunt, who called the FBI about the scary man. “He left. He stole her keys and told her, ‘Now I’m going to go after Kathie Lee.'”

Kathie said that Franks agreed to allow her to make the journey to Atlantic City on one condition.

Frank and Donald then made an arrangement in order to keep Kathie safe, however, she was in the dark about the situation.

“And so Frank called back the FBI and said, ‘I called Donald Trump. He says he’s going to take care of my wife and my daughter,’” Kathie told host Sage Steele.

“I said, ‘Donald, why? He said, “Because you’ve had a baby.’ I said, ‘Donald, women have babies every day. It’s no big deal. Thank you. But it’s no big deal.’ And he goes, ‘No, congratulations. So happy for you … [I’m] sending my helicopter for you and your baby and your nanny,'” she remembered.

“The next day, he sent his helicopter,” she noted, adding how the father-of-five also provided four members of his security team to take her around.

Kathie explained that she “never thought anything about” the extra protection, but when she later learned the reason behind the special treatment, she was extremely grateful.

“I just never thought about it, you know?” she admitted. “I just … stupid. But he never said a word. Nobody said a word to me.”
