The employees' legal challenge to Trump's executive order will be separate from a pending lawsuit from the company that owns the app.
It's also unclear if it will make it illegal for TikTok to pay its roughly 1,500 workers in the U.S., which is why some of them came to Godwin for help, he said. The order would prohibit"any transaction by any person" with TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance.
TikTok didn't return multiple requests for comment this week. It said in a statement Friday that it was"shocked by the recent Executive Order, which was issued without any due process." Microsoft is in talks to buy parts of TikTok, in a potential sale that's being forced under Trump's threat of a ban.
Unlike other Chinese tech companies targeted by Trump, such as telecom giant Huawei, TikTok's widespread popularity among Americans adds a layer of complexity to its legal and political challenges. The looming ban has annoyed TikTok users, some of them Trump supporters like Pam Graef of Metairie, Louisiana.
