President Donald Trump campaigned in part on a promise to keep violent criminals from coming into the United States.

However, television personality Kathie Lee Gifford recently recalled how Trump once saved her from being murdered.

Violent stalker threatened Gifford's life

According to Fox News, Gifford went into detail about the 1994 incident during an appearance on "The Sage Steele Show."

"The FBI called my husband, and they said, 'Mr. Gifford, we have a problem. There's this guy. This is a very, very bad human being," Gifford told Steele.

"[He] was a psychopathic murderer — a rapist and murderer. And he's coming to get your wife," she explained, adding that the man in question had previously "raped and tortured" his aunt.

"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,'" Gifford stated.

"And he called Donald," Gifford said of her husband. "Frank called Donald and said, "Donald, we've got this situation.'"

"And this is why I will love this man for my whole life," Gifford continued as she began to tear up. "He said, 'Frank, don't you worry about it. I've got your girls. I've got your girls. And don't you worry.'"

"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,'" Gifford noted.

The longtime television host went on to quote herself, remarking, "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.' The next day, he sent his helicopter," she declared.

Trump sent bodyguards to protect Gifford

Gifford then stressed that she was met by four of Trump's bodyguards upon her arrival at one of Trump's hotels in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

"I mean, these guys are major, major, and they're like, 'Mrs. Gifford, Mr. Trump wants you to know that we're here for you,'" Gifford said.

"I understood what Donald had done. I understood what Frank had done to try to say, you know, not be afraid and all of that," she added.
