President Donald Trump met with Marc Fogel’s mom on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, and vowed in order her son house if elected, simply earlier than an assassination aim just about took his future.
Rep. Mark Kelly, R-Pa., used to be there for the assembly between Trump and Malphine Fogel earlier than the president took the level.
“The president survived the assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, and he fulfilled his commitment to Mrs. Fogel that he would get her son home,” Kelly advised Fox Information Virtual. “It is an incredible, providential story.”

All over the rally, then his assembly with Fogel’s mom, Trump used to be appearing off a chart highlighting how unlawful immigration skyrocketed beneath the Biden-Harris management. As he became towards the chart, he used to be clash by way of a bullet that pierced the higher a part of his proper ear by way of the now-deceased would-be-assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Trump credit the chart for preserve his future.
Kelly likened the condition to the vintage film “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
“The theme of the movie was that George Bailey was very frustrated, but he was given a glimpse of life and what would have happened if he hadn’t been there – if he hadn’t been born,” Kelly recalled. “And if I go back to July 13, this is all providential.”

“Mrs. Fogel has a chance to talk to the president, and she talks about what is happening to Marc. The president vows to get him home,” Kelly endured. “It is a take-off of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and the opportunity, or the dilemma, that if you were never born, what would the consequences have been?”
“If President Trump did not survive the assassination attempt on July 13, Marc Fogel wouldn’t be home today,” Kelly mentioned.
Fogel, an American mentor from Western Pennsylvania, returned to america overdue Tuesday, then Trump fix his leave. Fogel used to be arrested in 2021 at an airport in Russia for ownership of scientific marijuana and used to be sentenced to fourteen years in a Russian jail.

“Having been there and witnessed it, I think to myself, ‘Oh my goodness, that tiny fraction of an inch, or whatever it was, is the difference between Marc Fogel being home and Marc Fogel not being home,’” he mentioned. “Between making a promise to his mother and being able to keep it, as opposed to making a promise and never getting a chance to fulfill it.”
Malphine Fogel recalled the Butler assembly with Trump on Fox Information Channel’s “America Newsroom.”
“I met with President Trump, and he was just as cordial as he could be,” she mentioned. “He told me three different times, ‘If I get in,’ he said, ‘I’ll get him out’ and I really think he’s been instrumental.”
Malphine Fogel advised Fox Information that “it was a total surprise” when she heard from her son from the Moscow airport.
“So, that meant that (they) had taken him out of the prison to Moscow…. The last week or so, for some crazy reason, I had a better feeling about things, but I hadn’t heard from him in a week, so I thought that was odd and when he called… it was just a total shock,” she mentioned.
In the meantime, Kelly advised Fox Information Virtual, “There is a certain time in people’s lives where you realize you don’t have forever, you have right now, and you need to get it done.”

“Politically, there is no one on either side of the aisle that could look at what happened with Marc Fogel and not somehow say, this is truly providential – this is not a political move,” Kelly mentioned. “This doesn’t do anything for the president. He’s already elected. He did this to keep a promise to a mother in her mid 90s – the only thing she wanted to see before she died was her son one more time.”
Kelly added: “This is a promise made. Promise kept. It is truly providential. It is. It is a wonderful life.”
