| WORDS OF WISDOM | | "Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?" | | JAMES LONGSTREET | | Good morning! Today, we're covering President-elect Trump's bid to block the TikTok ban, a new US victim of the Chinese telecom hack, and early indications pointing to Russian air defense systems as a potential culprit behind the Azerbaijan jet crash which killed 38. | | TOP NEWS | | | |
Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt TikTok Ban President-elect Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to block a law that could ban TikTok within the United States, stating that he would like to pursue negotiations to resolve some of the issues involved and salvage the platform.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments over the law on Jan. 10, just nine days before the deadline for TikTok's parent company to either divest from the platform in the United States or face an effective ban. That Jan. 19 deadline is also just one day before Trump is expected to be inaugurated for his second term as president.
"President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns," his Dec. 27 amicus brief read. Trump's brief underscored the importance of the timing and urged the court to give him more of an opportunity to handle the issue as chief executive. (More) | |
US Identifies Another Salt Typhoon Telecom Victim The White House has identified a ninth U.S. telecom network that Chinese state hackers have compromised, a senior official said on Dec. 27.
The Salt Typhoon hacking operation has affected major telecommunications companies and dozens of nations, with Verizon, AT&T, and CenturyLink among the targets. Officials said in early December that the hackers are still embedded in U.S. infrastructure.
The Justice Department on Friday issued a final rule naming China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela as countries of concern over their ambitions to exploit sensitive U.S. personal and government-related data by bulk. Under the rule, certain individuals and groups whom authorities deemed as threat actors are barred from transactions involving six types of U.S. data, including certain personal identifiers such as social security numbers or government identification numbers, precise geolocation data, biometric identifiers, human genetic or molecular data, personal health data, and personal financial data.

'Early Indications' Show Azerbaijan Air Crash Caused by Russian Air Defense: White House The White House National Security Council announced there are early indications that the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines flight on Dec. 25 was caused by Russian air defense systems.
Azerbaijani Transport Minister Rashad Nabiyev said on Friday that a preliminary investigation determined that the airliner experienced an "external impact" before the crash. Nabiyev did not identify a suspected weapon or where it came from. "The type of weapon used in the impact will be determined during the probe," Nabiyev told Azerbaijani media.
Flight 8243, operating the Brazilian-built medium-range Embraer 190 airplane, was en route to Grozny, Russia, from Baku, Azerbaijan, on Christmas Day when it was forced to make a crash landing near Aktau, Kazakhstan. The resulting crash killed 38 of the 67 passengers onboard. Ukrainian defense official Andriy Kovalenko immediately accused Russia of shooting down the aircraft after failing to close its airspace around Grozny, an area that faced a Ukrainian drone attack amid this flight's arrival. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov appeared on Russian state media on Dec. 26, requesting a crash investigation take place before any conclusions are made.
