72% Informative
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) passed a bill to ban TikTok from U.S. stores and servers last year .
The same committee that helped him pass the TikTok ban described in a recent report as a national-security threat.
He purchased $ 8,000 in stock of Alibaba , a Chinese e-commerce and tech firm that the report says poses a national security threat.
Rep. Gottheimer says the Chinese Communist Party is using DeepSeek to steal sensitive data of U.S. citizens.
In between trading tens of thousands of dollars in stocks, reporting to his committee assignments, and fundraising figures, he has also found time to run for governor of New Jersey .
