Episode 94: TikTok ends; Can Trump legally revive it?

The Legal Weekly W(h)ine

TikTok turns off in the United States, but why? Our top scholar and lawyers break down #SCOTUS's TikTok decision to uphold Congress' law banning TikTok in the United States as of Sunday, January 19, 2025. Go back with us to the origins of the country's concern with TikTok being owned and operated by China, which is considered one of America's adversaries, and how it started with Donald Trump in his first presidency. Now that Trump has switched his stance on TikTok, can he overturn a law that Congress passed and that #SCOTUS upheld?

Also in this episode, we discuss the release of Jack Smith's report of his findings on Donald Trump's two federal cases that he was prosecuting. Judge Aileen Cannon authorized the release of the report, but why?

Finally in this episode, we talk about endings and beginnings of U.S. Presidencies, charting our own presidential history of farewell addresses and inaugural speeches. Find out our thoughts on Biden's farewell speech and Trump's upcoming inauguration speech (as well as his first one).

Grab a glass of wine and join us for our exciting and entertaining legal take on TikTok, Jack Smith, Biden and Trump - this week's hottest national legal news, uncorked, with attorneys Virginia Tehrani and Chelsey Rogers and our political science expert, Dr. John R. Vile.
