Former Live With Regis and Kathie Lee host Kathie Lee Gifford has declared the only reason she's still "live" is President Donald Trump, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The 71-year-old added Trump saved her and her infant daughter, Cassidy, from a psycho killer who was stalking her.
Right before she was scheduled to host the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City in 1993, her late husband, Frank Gifford, got a call from the FBI, who had been alerted about a man who had tortured and raped his aunt and then threatened to attack Kathie Lee next.
Trump helped Gifford after an FBI warning about a dangerous stalker targeting the host.
We can now reveal the full details of the shocking incident.
The agent told him: "Mr. Gifford, we have a problem. There's this guy... a very, very bad human being.... And he's coming to get your wife."
Not wanting to frighten Kathie Lee, Frank called Trump to explain the situation.
"Frank, don't you worry about it. I've got your girls," Trump assured Frank. He then sent his private helicopter to fly Kathie Lee and Cassidy to his Atlantic City hotel.
Gifford only learned about the death threat after seeing a shocking newspaper headline about it in a hotel lobby.

Gifford gushed about Trump: "This is why I will love this man for my whole life."
