Trump, Rubio don't plan to stop Tate brothers' extradition to the U.K.
Trump and Rubio are not blocking the extradition of the Tate brothers to the U.K. despite their past support for Trump. The brothers face 59 combined sex-crime charges in the U.K. and Romania, and their lawyer claims the charges are politically motivated. The U.S. administration intends to honor its extradition treaty with the U.K., but Rubio has discretion to block if he suspects political persecution.
