The Justice Department is investigating claims that the company that owns TikTok has been spying on US tech journalists.

The probe stems from the company's acknowledgment in December that employees had obtained data of US TikTok users, some of whom were reporters, the New York Times reports.

The Biden Administration has pressured ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok or possibly face a nationwide ban.
