Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday that he's exploring assembling a group of investors to purchase TikTok, an attempt to assuage US national security concerns that the popular social media app should not be under Chinese ownership. It's a great business, and I'm going to put together a great group to buy TikTok," Mnuchin said during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
