Trump Urges Supreme Court to Pause TikTok Ban

Published On Dec 27, 2024, 6:31 PM

President-elect Donald J. Trump has filed a brief with the Supreme Court, requesting a delay on a law that requires TikTok to be sold or shut down by January 19. Trump argues that he opposes the ban and wants to address the legal and national security issues through political means once he takes office. The case, which will determine the constitutionality of the TikTok ban based on First Amendment rights, is set to be heard by the Supreme Court next month.
