Bingo T Dog Posted February 28 Posted February 28 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly22wdedqeo What is the White House saying? When asked about the Tates at the White House on Thursday, President Trump said: "I know nothing about that." But the brothers have been the subject of recent high-level discussions between the US and Romania. Romanian officials say US counterparts brought up the brothers' case with the Romanian government earlier this month, a story first reported by the Financial Times. And Trump special envoy Richard Grenell raised the issue again at a security conference in Munich. Hurezeanu said the Tates were mentioned during that conversation, but denied being pressured to release the pair. Why are the Tate brothers in the US? US must not interfere in Tate's case, say alleged victims The Tate brothers are Trump supporters and also have ties to figures in his administration. One of Tate's lawyers now works as White House liaison to the US justice department. Paul Ingrassia was part of a team representing the Tate brothers in a defamation lawsuit they filed in Florida against several of their alleged victims. Ingrassia also acted as Tate's publicist and says he got the influencer onto a show hosted by Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host. He has praised Tate in online posts. In one dating from July 2023, he called Tate "an extraordinary human being" who was offering "a dying West some hope for renewal". Ingrassia did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday. The Tates have also been talked about by several people in Trump's orbit, including Donald Trump Jr and Elon Musk. Trump Jr once called Tate's detention in Romania "absolute insanity". Musk reinstated Andrew Tate's account, which had been banned on X, and suggested, perhaps in jest, that Tate would make a good UK prime minister. Joseph McBride, a lawyer representing the Tates in a defamation case they have filed against several of their accusers in Florida, said in a statement: "They feel secure in America for several reasons, the primary one being that Donald Trump is the president." The statement alleged that the Tates and others are victims of "weaponised legal systems" and "politically motivated prosecutions". McBride did not respond to questions on whether White House officials played any role in the removal of travel restrictions against the Tate brothers. Quote

These guys literally are those people,” Moskowitz told host Abby Phillip. Trump notably launched his 2016 campaign by claiming immigrants from Mexico were “bringing drugs” and that “they’re rapists” — claims he’d build on with his anti-immigration rhetoric in subsequent years. As recently as Wednesday, the Trump administration ripped Michael Moore’s criticism of mass deportations by claiming that he was going to bat for “cold-blooded criminals” from other countries. “The Trump Administration will remain focused on putting our own citizens first by mass deporting illegal migrant rapists, murderers, and other criminals out of American communities,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai said in a press release. The Tate brothers, both supporters of the president, were arrested in 2022 for allegedly forming a criminal group to sexually exploit women. Andrew Tate was charged with rape, as well. Both brothers deny the allegations. Quote
