Andrew Tate, charged with rape and trafficking in Romania, heads to the U.S.

Influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate, who face charges in Romania including human trafficking and sexual intercourse with a minor, have left for the United States after a travel ban on them was lifted, according to their lawyer and Romanian prosecutors.

Joseph McBride, the Tate brothers' U.S.-based attorney, told NBC News on Thursday morning the siblings were on their way to Florida. He did not provide further details on their expected arrival and said he would not comment on whether the State Department or the White House was involved in the lifting of the travel ban.

"Our position is that Andrew and Tristan have long been targets of lawfare," McBride said. "They have maintained their innocence, arguing the accusations against them are defamatory and false."

The Tate brothers, who are dual U.S.-British citizens, were reported by Romanian media to have taken a private plane from the country to the U.S. early Thursday.

Don’t ever let the GOP tell you they care about women or children. Because they’re letting a literal rapist and human trafficker back in the country. Fuck Andrew Tate.

I wonder if they will stay with Trump at Mar a Lago. Please women of Florida and the men that love them, be careful. I wouldn't doubt Trump will want a piece of their human trafficking business.
