Steven Mnuchin Says He Is Putting Together a Group to Buy TikTok

Steven Mnuchin is putting together a consortium to try to buy TikTok, the Former Treasury Secretary said.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Thursday. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok.”

Mnuchin’s comments come two days after the House voted overwhelmingly to approve a bill that would ban the popular app from operating in the U.S. or force its Chinese owner ByteDance to sell.
