Deep dives
House Passes Bipartisan TikTok Legislation
The house passed bipartisan legislation giving TikTok's parent company, Bite Dance, six months to divest from the app or face a nationwide ban. This measure received support from some members indicating national security concerns while others like Representative Thomas Massey questioned its constitutionality. Despite the bill moving to the Senate, its future remains uncertain as Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hasn't committed to scheduling it for a vote.
Judge dismisses charges in Trump's election interference case
In Georgia, Judge Scott McAfee dismissed six counts in the racketeering indictment against former President Trump due to lack of detail from prosecutors. However, Trump still faces 10 charges, and prosecutors may seek a new indictment or appeal. The judge's decision coincides with a pending ruling on Fulton County DA Fawnee Willis's potential disqualification for alleged misconduct. As a related development, Hunter Biden rejected a house Republican invite to a public hearing, raising concerns over potential distortions by GOP lawmakers.
