When asked about the Tates at the White House on Thursday, President Trump said: "I know nothing about that."

But the brothers have been the subject of recent high-level discussions between the US and Romania.

Romanian officials say US counterparts brought up the brothers' case with the Romanian government earlier this month, a story first reported by the Financial Times.

And Trump special envoy Richard Grenell [raised the issue again at a security conference in Munich.

Hurezeanu said the Tates were mentioned during that conversation, but denied being pressured to release the pair.

Thanks!

This seems like a personal crusade of Grenell especially considering cheeto's desire to take credit for anything happening and Florida almost immediately trying to get them to go anywhere else.

I have yet to see a source of dipshit in chief demanding anything, which was the original claim.

Grenell is following the will of the admin. Him not taking direct credit gives him plausible deniability for not being associated with a sex traffickers while his base can give him credit so it’s a win win for him

That's possible, for sure. I also think dipshit cares so little about what people in his admin do as long as he gets to do what he wants that there are people doing rogue shit all over the place. This seems like too much effort him to actually make.
