Andrew Tate speaks to the media upon arrival from Romania, after prosecutors lifted a travel ban related to criminal charges against him and his brother Tristan, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, U.S. February 27, 2025.
Epstein flight logs to be made public as Tate brothers fly to Florida
On Thursday, Donald Trump made progress on two campaign promises: releasing Jeffery Epstein’s “client list” and freeing the Tate brothers from Romania. Ironically, both cases involve human trafficking and sexual abuse — but Trump has taken very different stands on them.
The DOJ vowed to release flight logs of visitors to Epstein’s private island to bring those involved to justice and increase transparency. Officials are finalizing redactions to protect victims before releasing the files, Attorney General Pam Bondisaid.
Epstein was convicted of running a trafficking ring that exploited underage girls and involved a number of powerful politicians, celebrities, and influential individuals. The identities of his “clients” have fascinated conspiracy theorists since 2019, when Epstein committed suicide while awaiting trial.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Tristan Tate — right-wing figures and self-described misogynists — landed in Florida on Thursday after being held in Romania for three years on allegations of rape, trafficking, and money laundering. They deny the charges, but Andrew Tate has boasted online that they made money by misleading women into believing they wanted a relationship as a means of coercing them into producing pornography.
Romania has not dropped the charges, and it remains unclear whether Trump influenced the decision to allow the brothers to leave. However, earlier this month, US officials urged Romania to lift the Tates’ travel restrictions, and Trump posted on X: “The Tates will be free. Trump is the president. The good old days are back.”Closed borders give rise to new wave of trafficking in Cambodia
