#shorts On 3/1/2023, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, ” You talked about TikTok earlier. I’m just curious now, why did the administration then wait so long to ban TikTok in all federal employees? Twenty-nine states have already done it. And the President, his first month in office, canceled an investigation by the Commerce Department into TikTok. So why did he wait so long?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So I’m not going to speak to any investigation. Look, the process is happening now. That’s what we’re seeing. What I can say is that the President has very — been very clear about his concern with apps like TikTok .. look, the Unity Agenda kind of lays out how the President wants to move forward. I’m not going to go beyond that.
