President-elect Donald Trump wants the Supreme Court to suspend a legislation that may prohibit TikTok in the United States next month, suggesting he can find a way to “save” the popular video platform without jeopardizing national security or American’s free speech rights.

In support of the statute, the outgoing Biden administration cautions that unless TikTok is divested from ByteDance, its Chinese-based parent business, China can obtain data on Americans or change the material on TikTok to impact U.S. opinion.

Opponents of the bill, which passed with bipartisan backing this year, argue that federal courts have prioritized national security concerns over freedom of expression.

Trump takes office on Jan. 20, a day after TikTok will be prohibited in the United States unless it’s sold.

Will the Supreme Court save TikTok? What to expect in the last legal fight.

TikTok has formally requested that the Supreme Court suspend the enforcement of the requirement while the company presents its argument regarding the law’s unconstitutionality. However, the Supreme Court has indicated this month that it will not determine whether to uphold the January 19 deadline until after the justices engage in discussions about the law’s merits during the oral arguments set for January 10.

Trump submitted documents on Friday, which were part of a surge of written briefs submitted ahead of those arguments.

His legal team referred to Trump as “one of the most influential, impactful, and active social media users in history.” They highlighted his 14.7 million followers on TikTok and pointed out that he established his own social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump informed the Supreme Court that voters have now granted him the authority to safeguard their rights to free speech.

Despite informing the Supreme Court that he holds no stance on the legal debates surrounding the law, Trump described the implications for the First Amendment as “broad and concerning.” He also cautioned that this could create a “hazardous global precedent” regarding government censorship, while recognizing that the national security issues raised by TikTok and ByteDance are “serious and urgent.”

TikTok had presented options of addressing the government’s concern without a sale.

However, the Biden administration concluded that some data from US users would still flow to China, and ByteDance would still be able to exert control over TikTok’s operations in the US. The administration also did not trust ByteDance to comply in good faith, and it did not believe the US could adequately monitor compliance.

In Friday’s filing, Trump stated that the Jan. 19 sale deadline binds his incoming government and that he should be given the opportunity to find a solution that does not violate the First Amendment.

Trump’s lawyers told the Supreme Court justices that he alone possesses “consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution.”
