Donald Trump will allow the Tate brothers to be extradited to Britain where they are accused of choking women unconscious and raping them, resisting a pressure campaign aimed at the White House.

Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested at a bare-knuckle boxing event in Miami on Saturday at the request of British detectives over charges of rape, sex trafficking and indecent images of a child.

The brothers' arrest sparked speculation that Trump might intervene on their behalf as the Tates have claimed to have close ties to the President and his family.

But a US official told the Telegraph: 'The White House has no involvement and no feelings on the issue.'

The British government said it was seeking the extradition of the dual US-UK citizens in relation to an original 21 charges as well as other new allegations involving four women between July 2010 and August 2017.

The brothers deny all wrongdoing and claim that they are the victims of a political witch hunt, a parting shot by outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

The final decision rests with Secretary of State Marco Rubio once the court in Florida has examined the case.

Andrew Tate has been charged with seven further counts of rape, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and 19 additional charges relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.
