The president says he's is working with "four different groups" on a TikTok purchase. Here's who has expressed interest in the past.

TikTok has until April 5 to find a buyer, and President Donald Trump says that at least four are currently in the mix. The short-from video platform may need to find new ownership since the U.S. passed its sell-or-ban law last year due to security concerns.
