Andrew Tate Admits He Deletes Potential Evidence from His Phone in Stunning Rant About Florida Investigation: ‘You Think I’m Not Ready?’
Andrew Tate casually admitted to deleting potential evidence while being investigated by the state of Florida for human trafficking during a recent interview with Candace Owens.
Due in large part to pressure from American politicians, Andrew and his brother Tristan Tate had their travel bans lifted in Romania. The two were stuck in the country due to an ongoing trafficking investigation, but that changed last week when they were flown to Florida.
Days after they landed, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced he had opened up an investigation into the brothers.
In response to the announcement of that investigation, Tate appeared on Owens’s podcast and explicitly dared Florida authorities to arrest him. In fact, he felt so confident in his innocence that he made the baffling decision to admit he deletes potential evidence from his phone on a regular basis.
“If I’m really not welcome, I won’t stay!” Andrew said. “I don’t want to overstay a welcome. But you wanna play these games? I’m right here in Miami! I’m right here in Miami! Come get me! Arrest me! Perp walk me! Put me on the news! Tell everyone I’m a human trafficker!
He continued:
You think I’m not versed? You think I’m not ready. I’m a Navy SEAL in this shit! Come get me! Raid my house! Take my stuff! You think I sleep with a phone full of evidence? You think I don’t wipe my phone every night? You think I’m dumb? Come get me. Arrest me. Let’s do this all over again. I’ve done it for four years in Romania. You think I’m scared of your state jail after an Eastern European gulag? I’m staying right here until the case is concluded because when I beat it here, then what are they gonna say? I beat it in England; I beat it in Romania; and I beat it in Florida. I’ll beat it everywhere because I haven’t done anything to anyone!
Tampering with evidence is considered a third-degree felony in the state of Florida and is punishable by up to five years in prison. Additionally, such an act is only a minor roadblock for authorities, as data can still be retrieved from a phone after the user has deleted it.
