Most members of President Donald Trump's cabinet launched official TikTok accounts on Tuesday after the Justice Department determined that the restructured platform could be used by federal employees on government-issued devices. The clearance followed an opinion from the department's Office of Legal Counsel and comes after the app underwent significant ownership changes to address longstanding national security issues.
A White House official confirmed the coordinated rollout, which sees senior figures establishing presences on the platform used by hundreds of millions of Americans. The accounts will allow direct communication on policy matters and public engagement.
