Donald Trump Faces Potential Major Clash With His Supreme Court [Video]

Donald Trump has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in an upcoming Supreme Court case in which the president-elect asks the court to delay a new law banning TikTok in the U.S. unless its Chinese owners sell it.

The new law is due to come into effect on January 19, the day before Trump is to be inaugurated as president, and he wants to be in power when it comes into force.

Newsweek sought email comment on Monday from the Trump transition team.
