Trump’s Former FCC Head Ajit Pai Asks Supreme Court to Uphold TikTok Ban | Trump's former FCC head is moving away from the president-elect on this issue.


Trump's former FCC head is breaking from the president-elect on this issue.

Ajit Pai, the former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission during Donald Trump’s first term, is splitting from his old boss and encouraging the Supreme Court to allow a ban on TikTok to move forward. According to Business Insider, Pai and former Department of Treasury official Thomas Feddo filed a brief last week encouraging the justices to uphold the law that would banish TikTok’s operation within US borders despite Trump’s push to stop the ban. Anyway, there has been no indication that Pai will be returning to the Trump administration (he seems perfectly happy playing a role in a private equity firm that is busy buying out telecom companies), so it’s probably safe for him to take a stance against his former boss.
