MARGARET BRENNAN: Welcome back to Face the Nation. Last week the House passed a bill requiring TikTok to divest from its Chinese owner or face removal from US app stores. Joining us now are the leaders of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Republican Mike Gallagher and Democrat Raja Krishnamoorthi. Good morning to you both.REP.
Well, we've gotten indication that the leader is going to take it up in his process. And obviously, we respect his process. Mike and I have had conversations, very positive ones, with different members of the Senate who are very interested in this bill and who were very surprised by the- the size or the margin of the overwhelming bipartisan support in the House. And as you know, the White House has asked the Senate to take up this bill quickly.
Well, if a divestiture happens, if the sale happens, you wouldn't need to claw it back. People can continue to use the app and post your dance videos, campaign on the app-- MARGARET BRENNAN: -- But how do you force a company-- REP.
