A U.S. House committee has voted to release the transcript of a closed-door hearing held in March. The hearing focused on national security threats posed by TikTok, a popular app owned by a Chinese company. The transcript release was requested by the Justice Department as part of its defense of a law that seeks to force TikTok's Chinese owner to divest its U.S. assets. The committee's decision to release the transcript aims to provide transparency on the discussions regarding foreign adversary-controlled applications and their potential threats to national security. The Full Committee held a business meeting to authorize the release, as noted by EnergyCommerce.
