REPORTS: U.S. LAUNCHES REVIEW OF CHINA-OWNED TIKTOK APP

Multiple published reports say that the U.S. government has launched a national-security review of the Chinaowned video app Tiktok, popular with millions of U.S. teens and young adults.

The reports Friday from Reuters, The New York Times and others said that the interagency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which reviews acquisitions by foreign firms, has opened an inquiry into Tiktok owner ByteDance’s 2017 acquisition of a predecessor app, Musical.ly.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., last month sent a letter to Treasury requesting a review of the national-security implications of the Musical.ly deal, saying there is “ample and growing evidence” that Tiktok is censoring content that is not in line with the Chinese government. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., later asked for the U.S. intelligence community to assess national-security risks of Tiktok and other Chinese-owned content platforms in the U.S.

Trump may face fight over Fla. move

NEW YORK — Donald Trump a Florida man? Not so fast.

Trump’s plan to shift his permanent residence to Palm Beach will likely be heavily scrutinized by New York state officials, who are notorious for auditing wealthy residents seeking to flee to lower-tax states to make sure such moves are real and not just on paper.

Even though it appears Trump has a strong case — he’s only spent a few nights at his Trump Tower penthouse overlooking Fifth Avenue since he became president — tax experts say it’s not a matter of if he will be audited but when.
