English Prosecutors Reveal What the Tate Brothers Did to Attract the Loyalty of MAGA World
Daily Telegraph
Scott: Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are super stars of the MAGA world. It’s not just that they have Mar-a-Lago access, they “pal around” routinely with all the Trump boys—Don Jr, Eric, and especially young Barron, who is a regular Tate groupie. An investigation into the circumstances of their release from house arrest in Romania shows that it followed from very heavy handed diplomacy (more accurately, threats) by the Trump administration. It was widely expected that Trump’s protection would secure them relief from all their legal woes—in Romania, Britain and the US. But that was not to be… at least not yet. Instead, prosecutors preparing the crown’s case against the Tates for trial at the Old Bailey have begun assembling and presenting their evidence. It’s unlikely that the Trump entourage have no inkling of what the evidence is. It’s far more likely that they know quite a bit of detail about it, and that’s precisely what makes the Tates so attractive to the Trump boys, and to MAGA world generally.
Andrew Tate took part in a sexualised video with a child, UK prosecutors have claimed.
The British-American influencer is accused of creating or sharing several indecent images of a child, including dozens of Category A videos – the highest risk level.
Court documents filed on Monday as part of an extradition request alleged that police found 168 indecent images and videos of a girl on Tate’s devices after he was arrested on July 18, 2015, on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.
The child is believed to have been 17 years old when the videos were taken, according to court documents. British prosecutors alleged on Monday that Tate, who was 28 at the time, was aware that she was underage.
The videos allegedly included 66 Category A images and 26 Category B images found on a Samsung mobile and a laptop reportedly seized from Tate’s home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, following his 2015 arrest.
Multiple victims alleged that Tate repeatedly choked them before and during non-consensual sexual acts.
At least one of the videos involving Tate depicted the girl “in a sexualised context”, prosecutors alleged. The influencer is also accused of subsequently sharing the footage on WhatsApp.
Court documents said a Category B video seized by police showed Tate seated on a bed and speaking directly to the camera, with the underage girl “wearing lingerie and holding what appears to be a championship belt”.
She is shown in the video positioned behind Tate on the bed and kissing his neck, before a female adult joins and begins kissing the child.
The girl travelled to the UK in 2014 and began working for Tate’s webcam business “soon after her arrival”, court documents said. Her passport, which was also found in Tate’s home, confirmed she was 17 at the time of his arrest in July 2015.
A text exchange between Andrew Tate and the girl sent five months earlier appears to confirm the online influencer was aware she was underage at the time.
Tate is also accused of sharing videos of the underage girl with three other people in a WhatsApp group in June 2015. He allegedly boasted to them that the girl worked for his webcam business and that one man had offered to pay her $1,000 (£750) every day if she performed a specific sexual act on camera.
Other videos seized from Tate’s devices allegedly involved extreme pornography, including footage showing bestiality with a horse and an eel.
The bestiality allegations has prompted discussion of Kash Patel’s role. Patel enthusiastically greeted the Tates when they were released from Romania and is known to party with them.
An Investigation Only the Ku Klux Klan Could Love
Wall Street Journal
Charles: The virulent racism that permeates every domestic policy of this despicable administration has never been more obvious than it is in a newly revealed investigation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Nine years ago, to compensate for decades of redlining and other forms of discrimination against Black borrowers, Wells Fargo announced it was committing $60 billion in loans to help at least 250,000 Black homeowners in the next ten years.
After a Bloomberg report revealed the bank had rejected half of all refinancing applications from Black homeowners in 2020, the bank promised to use its own money to help black homeowners refinance.
“These efforts are an important next step and will help close the homeownership gap between white and minority families created by decades of systemic inequities,” Wells Fargo said in 2022.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal yesterday, Dylan Tokar revealed that HUD had written to the chief executive of Wells Fargo to inform him the bank was now under investigation to determine whether it had violated fair-lending laws by favoring Black or other minority homeowners.
HUD officials said other banks would face similar investigations
This is the latest example of the Trump administration turning Civil Rights Laws upside down, to use them to discriminate against the very people they were supposed to protect.
The point is to return America to all of the worst practices that existed before the triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s. The evisceration of the Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court is an integral part of this apostasy.
Scott Turner, the African-American ex-football player who is the HUD Secretary, issued this particularly revolting statement explaining the department’s actions:
“Even if Wells Fargo did not violate the law, its practice of dividing Americans based on race is immoral, unethical and un-American,” Turner said. “Wells Fargo and all of its employees that engaged in race-based decision-making should be ashamed of themselves.”

The shame Mr. Turner is yours, and and yours alone.
