I don't think much of this administration but I am still a bit surprised they sunk this low. Quoting from the article:
Hurezeanu said Grenell “told me he is interested in the fate of the Tate brothers”. Grenell said there was “no substantive conversation” but added: “I support the Tate brothers as evident by my publicly available tweets.”
Both diplomats served as ambassadors to Germany during Trump’s first term as president.
One source said that Trump may have been persuaded to intervene by followers of Tate, 38, who has both US and UK citizenship, in his inner circle.
“I think they think Drew [Andrew Tate] is great and perhaps they reminded the president how much he supported him when he wasn’t exactly popular, and what an injustice his detention had been,” said the source, who has connections to the administration.
Last month Elon Musk, the owner of X and head of Trump’s cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency, appeared to support Tate’s ambition to become the British prime minister.
