Andrew Tate’s lawyer plans to play the Trump card to get his client out of jail.
Last month, Andrew and his brother Tristan were arrested in Miami, Florida, after British authorities levied some serious charges against the brothers, including human trafficking, which carries a life sentence in the UK.

“We have decided to prosecute Andrew and Tristan Tate for further offenses including rape, arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation and offenses relating to indecent images of a child.
“These charging decisions followed receipt of a further file of evidence from Bedfordshire Police and bring the total number of alleged victims in this case to seven.
“The CPS has requested the extradition of the Tates from the US. They have been arrested and await extradition proceedings to the UK.”
Andrew has since complained several times about prison conditions in recent weeks.
On Wednesday, his lawyer Joseph McBride said that he plans to contact President Trump to help get the brothers out of jail.
“We’ll be saying to him ‘Mr. President, if anybody in the world understands what it’s like to be falsely accused, falsely arrested, have your life in danger just for standing up for what’s right, it’s you.’
“You can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be going with everything that I got.”

As of now, it doesn’t seem like the Tate bros will get much help from Trump.
