Sen. Lindsey Graham was tasked with talking President Trump down from his threatened ban on TikTok. His call, along with nudging from key White House advisers, helped avert an overt ban of the Chinese-owned app that many felt would be a political disaster.
So on Saturday, following 18 holes of golf, the 65-year-old Republican and self-described luddite urged the 74-year-old President to reconsider his pending ban on the popular social media app. His call, at the behest of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin along with a weekend of nudging from other key White House advisers, helped avert Trump's overt banning of the app -- what many felt would be a political disaster.
He added that the Treasury Department would need to receive money in return for the deal, although several officials told CNN that it's not clear how the President intends to achieve this or whether it is possible or even ethical from a corporate standpoint."There's no such concept," said one seasoned investor in startup companies. The US"doesn't charge fees to close deals so this is basically a shakedown.
