In a press release and letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Rubio expressed concerns about Chew\u2019s credibility and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rubio-calls-for-doj-probe-into-tiktok-ceos-possible-perjury\/\" title=\"Rubio wants DOJ to investigate TikTok CEO for perjury.\">alleged false statements made<\/a> under oath during his testimony before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.<\/p>\n<h3>Evidence of Perjury<\/h3>\n<p>Rubio\u2019s letter to Garland details the evidence suggesting Chew\u2019s perjury. During his testimony on March 23, Chew stated under oath that TikTok\u2019s American users\u2019 data was stored in the United States and Singapore, explicitly denying any storage in China. Recent reports have revealed, however, that sensitive data, including Social Security numbers and tax identification numbers, was stored in China, making it accessible to employees of ByteDance, TikTok\u2019s Chinese parent company.<\/p>\n<h3>Importance of Transparency<\/h3>\n<p>Rubio emphasized the importance of transparency in informing the American people about the potential threats posed by TikTok. He called for a thorough investigation to determine whether Chew committed perjury and should be held accountable for making false statements about material facts related to TikTok\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n<h3>National Security Concerns<\/h3>\n<p>Rubio pointed out the concerning relationship between TikTok and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which has been a subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackburn-introduces-amendments-to-counter-china-and-iran\/\" title=\"Blackburn Introduces Amendments to Counter China and Iran\">national security concern<\/a>.
