The situation previews a series of looming clashes between Trump’s personal interests and lawmakers’ professed principles.

Rep. Glenn Grothman was among the lawmakers who voted in favor of a bill requiring TikTok to divest its Chinese ownership.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) emerged as a key figure Sunday to stand up to President-elect Donald Trump on the latter’s vow to “save” TikTok from being banned in the US after its Chinese-owned parent company declined to divest from the video-sharing app in time to comply with US law.

In a statement, senators disputed President-elect Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day extension to bring the app back.

One of TikTok's top investors is billionaire Jeff Yass, Pennsylvania's richest man and a GOP megadonor. There is no indication yet whether Yass will attend Trump's inauguration.

If Trump can upend the TikTok ban through secret deals and an impending executive order, what’s stopping him from doing the same to other valid federal laws?
