- Cabinet Members Set to Join TikTok Following DOJ Clearance for Federal Use</[TITLE]President Donald Trump has signed an executive order in the Oval Office officially implementing his plan regarding the social media and video streaming platform TikTok. A White House official confirmed to Fox News that most members of President Trump’s Cabinet are expected to launch official TikTok accounts this Tuesday.This coordinated rollout, as first reported by Axios, follows a July 16 legal opinion from the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel. The opinion concluded that federal employees may use TikTok because the platform is now managed by a U.S.-approved owner, placing it outside the scope of previous federal restrictions.The DOJ opinion determined that the current version of TikTok, operated via the TikTok U.S. Data Security Joint Venture, does not fall under the prohibitions of the No TikTok on Government Devices Act. This 2022 legislation had barred the app from federal government devices due to national security concerns regarding its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. The legal opinion notes that the law specifically prohibits versions of TikTok “developed or provided by entities in which ByteDance Limited has a controlling ownership stake.” President Donald Trump speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House.

It’s so dangerous. It’s horrible. They’re spreading all these rumors,” Trump said on July 8.”And the numbers came out yesterday. You know who’s No. 1 on TikTok? I am. I’m No. 1 at TikTok.” The opinion says the law prohibits versions of TikTok “developed or provided by entities in which ByteDance Limited has a controlling ownership stake.” (iStock / iStock)Trump also dismissed criticisms from China hawks, suggesting that his presence on the platform helps counter concerns regarding Chinese influence.”And all I talk about is how bad communism is, right?” Trump said. “They say, ‘Oh, it’s terrible.’ They’re spreading. But I’m No. 1. I listen to Gordon Chang. I like Gordon Chang, but he’s always, like, negative.”Oh, China is so terrible. They’re so terrible, and TikTok is so terrible. But I am No. 1 on TikTok. I have, like 4 billion views or something like that.” Trump’s Cabinet is expected to launch official TikTok accounts Tuesday after the Justice Department concluded federal employees may use the app under its new ownership structure. (Win McNamee/Getty Images / Getty Images)Earlier this month, Trump credited TikTok with assisting in his election victory.”We have to be careful because China is a great competitor,” Trump said during a July 6 event. “But, you know, he was talking about we must stop TikTok. I’m No. 1 on TikTok. I think it helped me win the election in a landslide if you want to know the truth.”
