Investigate White House Interference in the Andrew Tate Federal Investigation

To: Sen. Murray, Sen. Cantwell, Rep. DelBene, Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Bothell, WA

July 19

Demand a full investigation into the White House's interference in the federal investigation of Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan. According to ProPublica, when Customs and Border Protection seized the Tates' electronic devices at Fort Lauderdale on February 27, White House official Paul Ingrassia called senior DHS officials and demanded the devices be returned — explicitly invoking the White House's authority. DHS officials were alarmed, with one describing the request as showing "brazenness and the high-handed expectation of complicity." This is not a minor procedural dispute. Andrew Tate faces charges in Romania for sex trafficking and rape. UK authorities have authorized charges including rape and human trafficking. A woman sued the Tates in Florida. Ingrassia — a former lawyer for the Tates who once praised Tate's "willpower and spirit" on social media — had no business making that call from inside the White House. The pattern is clear: this administration pressures DOJ to go after political enemies while shielding allies who helped deliver votes. That is corruption, and it demands accountability.
