REFILE-Senator Warner says new Trump TikTok extension may violate law

ReutersApr 7, 2025 10:26 PM

- The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said on Monday that President Donald Trump's decision to extend a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest short video app TikTok's U.S. assets violates the law.

Senator Mark Warner also said the reported likely deal under consideration would not meet legal requirements for eliminating ByteDance’s influence over TikTok’s U.S. operations, saying it "would preserve a material, operational role for ByteDance by not only allowing it to retain a significant equity stake in the divested entity, but also an active role in technology development and maintenance."
