Tate Brothers Arrested In Florida: What We Know About Their Trump Ties
Andrew and Tristan Tate—influential figures in the so-called manosphere that intersects with President Donald Trump's base—were arrested in Miami on Saturday, more than a year after Romanian authorities lifted travel restrictions on them, reportedly at the Trump administration's urging. Andrew Tate faces 42 charges, and Tristan Tate faces 17 charges, largely accusing them of abusing women near London between 2010 and 2017. Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu stated he discussed the matter with Trump special envoy Richard Grenell at the Munich Security Conference but “didn't feel pressured to make any decision.” Richard Grenell told the Financial Times he had no “substantive” conversation about them but didn't deny discussing the brothers. Trump, on the travel restrictions being lifted, said: “I knew nothing about that...we'll check it out. We'll let you know.”
