"Controversy Surrounding TikTok: From Trump's Ban to Biden's Support"

TL;DR Summary
Steve Bannon suggested that Donald Trump's opposition to a bill targeting TikTok may have been influenced by a meeting with Jeff Yass, a conservative hedge fund manager with a significant stake in TikTok. Despite Trump's previous support for action against TikTok due to its Chinese ties, he recently opposed the bill, citing false claims about voter fraud. Bannon implied that Trump may have been paid off, leading to suspicions about the situation. Lawmakers have advanced a bipartisan bill to incentivize divestment of TikTok by ByteDance, and Trump's apparent shift in stance has raised questions about potential influence.
