Trump Attends Florida Hearing on Motions to Dismiss Docs Case; Steven Mnuchin Looking to Buy TikTok

Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys will argue in a Florida court that the federal classified documents case should be thrown out. Trump on March 14 arrived at the courthouse to appear before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Former Trump Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he’s assembling a team of investors to make a bid to buy TikTok. This comes after the House of Representatives passed a bill to address the threat posed by the short video platform. The legislation would give Chinese owner ByteDance six months to divest from the U.S. branch or face a ban. The former Treasury Secretary said TikTok is “a great business” and “it’s worth a lot of money.”

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) called for a thorough investigation of possible infiltration into the U.S. government after a U.S. customs officer targeted an American performing arts company with Chinese propaganda. A tour manager from New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts said the officer described her as “illegal” based on her religious beliefs.
