VERBATIM: Mr. Trump’s request came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court. Oral arguments are scheduled for January 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The brief said Mr. Trump opposes banning TikTok at this time and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”
