Barron Trump Was 'Courted' by Andrew Tate Associate Before 2024 Election: Report [View all]

A new investigative report by The New Yorker and earlier reporting by The New York Times exposed close ties between Barron Trump, manosphere influencers and accused human trafficker and rapist Andrew Tate.

Andrew and Tristan Tate face multiple active criminal charges and legal actions involving rape, human trafficking and assault across multiple jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and Romania.

Reports and statements from Tate associates reveal Barron was a "fan" who interacted with Andrew and his close circle.


Manosphere influencer Justin Waller — who refers to himself as Andrew's "third brother"— became a close confidant and style mentor to then-teenaged Barron in the lead-up to the 2024 election.
