A federal judge struck roughly 150 pages of evidence supporting Emory Andrew Tate, an influencer in Barron Trump's social orbit accused of rape.
Magistrate Judge Lauren Fleischer Louis signed the order on Aug. 25 in Miami federal court. The stricken filings were two notices Emory Andrew Tate submitted the same day, according to the order.
Emory Andrew Tate tried to fold "approximately 150 pages of legal argument" into his existing briefing, the order said.
Court records show each of the two stricken notices carried four exhibits.
The material was intended to support Emory Andrew Tate's request for release from jail while he fights extradition, the order said.
Emory Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate face 59 criminal charges in the United Kingdom, according to the Crown Prosecution Service.
The charges include rape, sexual assault and trafficking for sexual exploitation, the agency said. Both brothers deny wrongdoing.
The brothers have long been embraced by figures in the president's political orbit. Barron Trump cultivated a relationship with Emory Andrew Tate and helped with outreach to young men during the 2024 campaign, Forbes reported.
"I'm very close with the Trump family," Emory Andrew Tate told reporters, according to the same outlet.
"Coordination and extensive relationships with members of the President's orbit, including his son, Barron Trump," should be investigated, Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) wrote in a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
The stricken pages attacked a 1903 Supreme Court standard that requires people fighting extradition to show "special circumstances" before a judge can release them, the order said.
Emory Andrew Tate had asked the court in an earlier motion for permission to file a reply "no more than 30 pages in length." The court gave him exactly that, permitting a reply "not to exceed 30 pages in length," the order said.
Briefing on the release motion is now closed, and the judge set a hearing for Aug. 27, according to the order.
