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

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

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 of the company—or face a ban. The former treasury secretary said TikTok is "a great business" and that "it's worth a lot of money."

Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) has called for a thorough investigation of possible infiltration into the U.S. government after a customs officer at Chicago's O'Hare Airport 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 an “illegal” based on his presumption of her religious beliefs.
