Trump administration is allegedly collecting $10 billion on the TikTok deal

The Trump administration is reportedly collecting a $10 billion fee from new investors, including Oracle and Silver Lake, for brokering the TikTok deal. About $2.5 billion was already paid to the Treasury when the deal closed in January, with the rest to follow in installments. The fee represents over 70% of the deal's $14 billion value, marking another instance of the administration inserting itself into private business transactions.
