Who?
The controversial British-American influencer Andrew Tate has left Romania, where he was charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women.He and his brother are believed to be on a private jet heading to the US, sources told the BBC.Tate was put under house arrest in Romania in August 2024 when prosecutors launched a second criminal investigation against himself and his brother Tristan, as well as four other suspects. They all deny wrongdoing.Separately, the brothers are wanted in the UK to face allegations of sexual assault which they also deny.The brothers have also been accused of tax evasion in the UK. A British court ruled in December 2024 that police could seize more than £2m ($2.4m) from them for failing to pay tax on £21m in revenue from their online businesses.Andrew Tate said the ruling was "not justice" and called it a "co-ordinated attack".
He is not a nice guy besides ProPublica reports that,
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.by Robert Faturechi and Avi Asher-SchapiroNovember 18, 2025Online influencer Andrew Tate, a self-described misogynist who has millions of young male followers, was facing allegations of sex trafficking women in three countries when he and his brother left their home in Romania to visit the United States.“The Tates will be free, Trump is the president. The good old days are back,” Tate posted on X before the trip in February — one of many times he has sung the president’s praises to his fans.But when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.
Why did Trump step in? Is it because Tate knows things about Trump?
The incident is the latest in a string of law enforcement matters where the Trump White House has inserted itself to help friends and target foes. Since entering office for a second term, Trump has urged the Justice Department to go after elected officials who investigated him and his businesses, and he pardoned a string of political allies. Andrew Tate is one of the most prominent members of the so-called manosphere, a collection of influencers, podcasters and content creators who helped deliver young male voters to Trump. And news of the White House intervention on behalf of the accused sex traffickers comes as Trump is under fire over his ties to notorious child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his administration’s recent efforts to stop the public release of the so-called Epstein files.
While Newsweek reported...
U.S. officials initially broached the subject during a phone call with the Romanian government, advocating for the return of the Tates' passports and permission for them to travel while awaiting court proceedings, the FT reported.This diplomatic effort was further amplified when Richard Grenell, President Donald Trump's U.S. envoy for special missions, met with Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu at the Munich Security Conference last week.
It seems like they are all running in the same circles... those who are sexual predators. USA Today said...
Ingrassia, who at the time was working as a White House liaison to the Department of Homeland Security, is alleged to have "chided" investigators for seizing the Tates’ property when they entered the United States last year. That request, Ingrassia claimed, came directly from the White House, according to the report.
You have to wonder why is Trump coming to his defense? And this is all happening while Trump's Secretary of Defense is under investigation for war crimes!
