Rupert Murdoch, Michael Dell part of U.S. TikTok buyer group, Trump says

Media moguls Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch and tech entrepreneur Michael Dell are among the U.S. investors who will be part of the deal for TikTok, President Trump said on Sunday.Why it matters: The exact terms and timing of the deal remain unknown, but it's becoming clearer that TikTok is closer than ever to being sold and remaining in business in the U.S.What they're saying: "Michael Dell is involved. I hate to tell you this, but a man named 'Lachlan' is involved. Do you know who Lachlan is? That's a very unusual name — Lachlan Murdoch. … And Rupert is probably going to be in the group — I think they're going to be in the group," Trump said in an interview with Fox News' "The Sunday Briefing," when asked about the U.S, buyers for the dominant social media app.Editor's note: This is a developing story and will be updated.
