Trump in-between his presidencies was in a lot of legal trouble and racking up a lot of money in settlement fees. During this time he was approached by Jeff Yass a billionaire with a major stake in TikTok who did not want to see a US ban. He was able to aid Trump in paying off all of his legal fees in exchange Trump decided to Black the ban.
