Political commentator Adam Mockler warned Friday, leaked digital communications from far-right influencer Andrew Tate pose serious threats to the Trump administration.

“Leaked Andrew Tate texts are looking VERY bad for the Trump admin,” Mockler wrote in a social media post on X.

Tate and his brother Tristan were arrested in Miami on a sealed warrant related to rape and human trafficking charges filed in the United Kingdom, according to CBS News.

The Tates were previously arrested in Romania in 2022 on similar charges, reported ABC News, though that case stalled following pressure from the Trump administration.

Leaked messages obtained by The New York Times reveal Tate wrote, “I had word from The Trump admin that theyre [sic] on top of things.”

“Ive been told ill be free soon but Trump needs to see me in Miami.”

Mockler highlighted that Paul Ingrassia, Trump administration General Services Administration general counsel, represented the Tate brothers as their attorney.

Mockler also noted Vice President JD Vance still follows the Tates on social media and Barron Trump maintains ties with them.
