The timing isn’t lost on anyone.

It comes just days after TikTok finalized a sale that gave a consortium of mostly American investors control of TikTok’s business in the U.S, a deal that averted a nationwide ban of the app over national security concerns tied to its Chinese parent company.

Among the lead investors is tech firm Oracle, which is run by billionaire Larry Ellison. He’s a close ally of President Trump, whose connection to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has plagued the administration for months.
