Andrew Tate went on to say that he has an American passport. He says the whole point of democracy is innocent until proven guilty. He said the same thing when he landed in South Florida last week. According to Andrew Tate, he and his brother must return to Romania near the end of the month.

Andrew Tate, 38, born Emory Andrew Tate III, and his younger brother Tristan Tate, 36, are U.K.-U.S. citizens born to Emory Tate, an African American international chess master, and mother, Eileen Tate.

An attorney for the brothers said they are citizens of the United States and part of an ongoing defamation case in a Florida court.
