Case Overview

The Public Integrity Project sued the Trump administration over the proposed deal that would allow the app to be purchased by allies of the president.


The Application

History

The Public Integrity Project alleges the administration improperly approved TikTok's sale to entities with presidential connections, thereby creating a conflict of interest and failing to provide reasoned decision-making as required by the APA.

The Conclusion

The case remains active in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, with the court reviewing whether the executive authorization satisfies statutory conflict-of-interest restrictions and procedural requirements.
