UFC boss and Trump ally Dana White filmed hugging accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate - self-described misogynist

Andrew Tate has been friends with President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. since 2016; the younger Trump has called the brothers’ detention in Romania “absolute insanity.” While campaigning this summer, Trump and now Vice President JD Vance appeared on podcasts of frequent Tate collaborators and supporters Adin Ross and the Nelk Boys.

The Tate brothers, British American dual citizens, have been accused of luring women to Romania and then forcing them to work as pornographic webcam performers. They are also being investigated for rape and human trafficking in Britain and were to be extradited there when the Romanian cases concluded.

Self-described misogynist influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate still face charges of human trafficking and rape in Romania and the U.K.

Romania allowed the travel after pressure from Trump officials, a person familiar with the case said. The brothers, vocal Trump supporters, were detained in 2022.

UFC CEO Dana White attended a PowerSlap event in Las Vegas, drawing controversy after being seen hugging Andrew Tate, a kickboxer arrested for human trafficking. Fans expressed outrage online, linking the incident to Dana White's own 2022 controversy where he was filmed hitting his wife.

Andrew and Tristan Tate, dual U.S.-British citizens with millions of online followers, arrived in the U.S. after authorities lifted travel restrictions on them.
