Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain in jail at least two more weeks until their next hearing as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom, where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking, a federal judge said.
Asked on Thursday whether the White House would intervene in the extradition process, press secretary Karoline Leavitt flatly rejected the idea.
The Tates’ attorney, Joseph McBride, said after last week’s hearing that they should remain in the US.
“We are of course objecting to extradition because Andrew and Tristan are innocent,” Mr McBride said.
The Tate brothers have consistently denied allegations of abuse and human trafficking, claiming their violent and misogynistic statements have been taken out of context or were intended as jokes.
