<p>One of President Donald Trump&#8217;s top lawyers, Alina Habba, is walking back her support for influencer Andrew Tate after previously telling him she was a “big fan.”</p>
<p>Pressed on her support for Tate and his brother in an interview with Jan Jekielek of the Epoch Times, Habba said the accusations against Tate and his brother were &#8220;stomach-churning.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The accusations against the Tate brothers are stomach-churning, they are disturbing,&#8221; Habba said. &#8220;That is for the court to handle, and they should handle it.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">&#8220;The accusations against the Tate brothers are stomach-churning… That is for the court to handle… What I said was… I am always passionate about people that are vocal… that is very separate… than accusations of human trafficking.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no part of me that condones that… <a href="https://t.co/djeTkme9T0">pic.twitter.com/djeTkme9T0</a></p>
<p>— Jan Jekielek (@JanJekielek) <a href="https://twitter.com/JanJekielek/status/1900316326767235282?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Habba said it was &#8220;great manipulation&#8221; to claim that she ever declared herself a &#8220;big fan&#8221; of Tate. But in mid-January, she did just that. Habba was interviewed along with Tate on conservative commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast, “The Benny Show.” During that episode, Habba opened up by telling Tate she was a &#8220;big fan&#8221; of his, and then continued: &#8220;When I saw that you were going to be on, I said to Benny, I have to meet Andrew Tate.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also compared the legal case against Tate — which includes allegations of sex trafficking and raping underage girls — to the Democrats’ political prosecution of Trump, which included inflating misdemeanors into felonies and charging him based on a novel reading of the law.</p>
<p>“I think that your anger is the same that President Trump has for our country, and the time is now for us to stop being wimps,” Habba said to Tate. Habba also said that she sympathized with Tate because he is going through “a lot of the same [stuff] that President Trump has gone through.”</p>
<p>“There is literally only one person with the same amount of anger and fire,” Habba said. “That&#8217;s probably me and President Trump. But it&#8217;s because you love what&#8217;s right and you&#8217;re being under siege. And I see it and just keep fighting, I mean I&#8217;m here for it!”</p>
<p>Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro took issue with Habba’s defense of Tate, saying in an episode of “The Ben Shapiro Show” shortly after that the “Right should DUMP Andrew Tate.”</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ben Shapiro Urges MAGA to Dump &#8216;Evil Con Artist&#8217; Andrew Tate, Refutes Alina Habba Comparing Him to Trump <a href="https://t.co/QVA2e6ubtT">https://t.co/QVA2e6ubtT</a></p>
<p>— Mediaite (@Mediaite) <a href="https://twitter.com/Mediaite/status/1879304213496500343?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 14, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Shapiro also denied any similarities between the cases against Trump and Tate before arguing that “Andrew Tate is at best a crap sandwich. He presents totally differently to different audiences.”</p>
<p>Shapiro argued that Tate changes his views depending on the audience, from a “low-rent, anti-feminist talking head,” to “an anti-Semitic radical who&#8217;s willing to violate any taboo for the fringes.”</p>
<p>“In the end, what he really is, is a con artist. And he&#8217;s actually kind of an evil con artist,” Shapiro added, before alleging that Tate was a “pimp&#8221; and &#8220;pornographer” who “made his money grooming women for the sex industry.”</p>
<p>Tate and his brother were recently able to return to the United States after leaving Romania when their travel restrictions were lifted. Florida has opened a criminal investigation into the brothers, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/florida-opens-criminal-investigation-into-tate-brothers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
