Andrew and Tristan Tate, the controversial British-American social media influencers accused of rape, human trafficking and money laundering, have been freed from travel restrictions in Romania after several high-level White House officials took an interest in their case.

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan left Romania and arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, yesterday after a travel ban on them was lifted.

An attorney for the brothers said they are citizens of the United States and part of an ongoing defamation case in a Florida court.
