McBride declined to comment on whether the White House was involved or not in the departure of the Tate brothers of Romania.

“There is clear evidence to support the accusations against Tate that he is one of the worst traffickers of people and serial rapists in the world,” July said about Andrew Tate in a position in X on Thursday. But, he added: “Any suggestion that the Tates will face justice in Romania is fantasy.”

The lawyer asked the British government to intervene and initiate action to see the Tate brothers extradited to the United Kingdom to “face charges for the crimes of human trafficking and violation that have supposedly committed in this jurisdiction.”
