A TikTok employee suing the Trump administration is about to get his first court hearing, writes stokel

President Donald Trump speaks on the fourth and final night of the Republican National Convention with a speech delivered in front a live audience on the South Lawn of the White House on Thursday, August 27, 2020.A TikTok employee who sued the Trump administration over attempts to block the app will get his first hearing in court on Tuesday.

Patrick Ryan, a technical program manager for TikTok since April, initially filed his suit against President Donald Trump's administration in mid-August. Ryan, who joined TikTok from Google, is also a lawyer. Recognizing the potential risk to TikTok's 1,500 US employees, the judge presiding in the case has since set what Ryan calls "an aggressive briefing schedule", calling the case for hearing at 9am local time on September 15.

The Trump administration's lawyers don't feel the same. In a 24-page response filed on September 10, the defendants in the case claim the application for a restraining order on the president's decision should be denied.
