Self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan arrived in Florida last week from Romania, where they are facing charges of human trafficking, setting off a fervor of concern and anger – and a state-level criminal investigation.

Despite their leaving the state, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier on Monday said an investigation into the Tate brothers "is still ongoing."

The abrupt departure of Andrew and Tristan Tate, who had been held in Romania for two years, raised questions about whether the Trump administration had intervened.

Social media influencer brothers — and fervent supporters of President Donald Trump — Andrew and Tristan Tate appear to have left Florida after getting the cold shoulder from Gov. Ron DeSantis and becoming subjects of a state criminal investigation.
