The Trump administration will not intervene to block the extradition of Andrew and Tristan Tate to the United Kingdom, White House officials confirmed Thursday, July 23, as newly unsealed court documents revealed 38 additional UK charges against the brothers arrested in Miami five days earlier.

The case returns to federal court before U.S. Magistrate Lauren Louis on Monday, July 27, when attorneys will argue over bail and extradition.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was blunt at a Thursday briefing when asked whether the president or his administration planned to step in.

"No, we have already answered that question," she said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who holds sole discretion to ultimately block an extradition under the U.S.-UK treaty, told reporters during a diplomatic trip to the Philippines on Wednesday, July 22, that there was "no role" for the administration to play while the case is in court, "or maybe ever." A senior administration official separately told Axios the U.S. "intends to honor" its extradition treaty with the UK in this case.

The brothers' attorney, Joseph McBride, pushed back. He told TMZ on Thursday that Leavitt "is not the President or the Secretary of State" and that no extradition can proceed without Rubio's signature.

59 charges, seven alleged victims

The unsealed extradition request details why British prosecutors want the Tates returned. The 38 new charges bring the combined total from the original 21-count case to 59.

Andrew Tate, 38, now faces 42 UK charges, including seven counts of rape, three counts of sex trafficking, three counts of assault and 19 charges related to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography, according to the unsealed court documents. Tristan Tate, 36, faces 17 charges, including two counts of rape, one count of sexual assault and three counts of facilitating travel for exploitation.

The alleged offenses span 2010 to 2017 and involve seven women. Prosecutors say four additional victims came forward after a Bedfordshire Police investigation, adding to three alleged victims in the original case.

Court documents allege one woman working in the brothers' webcam business was put in a chokehold and raped by Andrew Tate at her home in Bedford, England, in 2015.

Arrested en route to boxing event

U.S. Marshals arrested both brothers on Saturday, July 18, outside the James L. Knight Center in Miami, shortly before Andrew Tate was set to co-host a bare-knuckle boxing event. Unsealed documents show British prosecutors knew the brothers would be in South Florida for the event and formally requested their arrest at that location.

The dual U.S.-UK citizens appeared before Magistrate Louis on Monday, July 20, in tan jail uniforms and handcuffs. They said nothing. Outside the courthouse that day, McBride told reporters, "We will make sure that we exhaust all remedies before they are sent over to the communist regime previously known as the free place of the United Kingdom."

What's next

Federal prosecutors are opposing bail, arguing the brothers are a flight risk. The extradition process can take months depending on legal challenges filed, according to extradition law expert Jacques Semmelman, a New York-based attorney not involved in the case.

Monday's hearing before Magistrate Louis at the federal courthouse in Miami will address both the bail request and extradition arguments.
