The Trump administration has no plans to intervene in the Tate brothers' extradition battle, according to a terse statement by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on July 23. Many of their allies on the right have gone silent; a post on X from Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Ariz., stood out as he spoke against extraditing them.

To Russell Riley, a presidential historian at the University of Virginia, the Trump administration is doing what any previous administration in recent memory would have.

"Any properly acting White House chief of staff would have knocked in the head anybody who dared bring this within 50 feet of the Oval Office," he says of the Tates' extradition case.

In the days since, McBride, the Tates' lawyer, has sometimes vented anger at U.S. conservatives, accusing figures in the Trump administration and Washington of hating the Tates, without identifying them by name.

"Has no plans" is different than "Will not"
