Convicted felon President Trump’s regime is pressuring Romania’s government to allow credibly accused sex traffickers Andrew and Tristan Tate to travel to the US so the right wing influencers can be granted asylum or who the hell knows what kind of shit they’ll pull, the Financial Times reports.
Sources say the matter was first brought up in a phone call and then in a conversation between Dick Grenell and Romanian Foreign Minister Emil Hurezeanu. A spokesman for the ministry refused to comment on the meeting specifically but said “Romanian courts are independent and operate based on the law, there is due process.” Grenell’s been ranting on Twitter that the prosecution against the two was somehow funded with USAID grants so right there’s the justification for this shitbaggery.
