Karoline Leavitt Dishes Blunt Response When Asked If Trump Will Intervene in Tate Brothers Case

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt offered a blunt response when asked whether President Donald Trump plans to intervene in the case against “manosphere” influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan.

Speaking from the podium at Thursday’s White House press briefing, Leavitt was asked by a reporter, “Is President Trump or the administration — do they have any plans to intervene in the extradition process for the Tate brothers?”

“No,” came Leavitt’s reply. “We’ve already answered that question.”

She quickly called on another reporter.

The Tate brothers were arrested last week at a bare-knuckle fighting boxing match in Miami as the Crown Prosecution Service said it was adding additional sex crime charges to the original 21 that the Tates face.

They are currently awaiting extradition to the U.K., which the brothers are fighting.

“We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offences including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offences relating to indecent images of a child,” Malcolm McHaffie, Head of the Special Crime Division at the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement.

The Tates are fans of Trump, and voiced support for the president during his 2024 campaign.

In addition, Andrew Tate reportedly once held a Zoom call with the president’s son Barron Trump, who has also received dating advice from an associate of the podcaster.
