Republican state AGs await Trump-brokered TikTok deal, remain skeptical on app safety
Fox News
President Donald Trump has signaled a potential deal to save TikTok over the weekend, as Republican attorneys general are skeptical of the app's safety but await Trump's action.
The reported deal Trump is working on involves partnering with software company Oracle and a group of outside investors to take control of the app's operations. According to sources familiar with the matter, ByteDance, TikTok's Chinese parent company, would maintain a stake in the platform under the proposed deal. However, Oracle would take control of data management and software updates, leveraging its existing role in supporting TikTok’s web infrastructure, two sources told Reuters.

"President Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to save TikTok, and there’s no better dealmaker than Donald Trump," Trump's national press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously told Fox News Digital.
