and if the bill becomes law, it would give tiktok's parent company bytedance six months to sell the video sharing app or it would be removed from app stores and web posting services here in the u.s. now tiktok's massive lobbying efforts were not enough to stop the crackdown despite a flood of phone calls to members of congress and these online influencers who were here in washington visiting capitol hill. cbs' scott macfarlane is going to start us off tonight from capitol hill. >> reporter: tiktok has lured 170 million users with its quick viral videos. but perhaps nothing has spread faster than a plan in congress requiring tiktok separate from its china-based owner, or be cut off from its u.s. users. just eight days after it was introduced, the bill passed the u.s. house overwhelmingly. >> why in the hell would we want and allow the chinese communist party to have access to our private data? >> reporter: despite an 11th hour flurry of lobbying by tiktok.

lead to an interruption or an elimination of the app is a huge monumental decision that i wish more people understood. >> reporter: in a statement to cbs news, tiktok says the legislative process was secretive, and that the bill was jammed through. they argue because they say it's a ban. former president trump has opposed this bill, and norah, that could be impactful with the now pivotal republican u.s. senators. >> scott macfarlane, thank you so much. now to that sweeping racketeering case against donald trump in georgia. a fulton county judge today dismissing six of the 41 counts against the former president and top allies rudy giuliani and mark meadows. it's considered a legal setback for prosecutors, but trump still faces ten charges that could result in decades in jail. here is cbs' nikole killion. >> reporter: fulton county judge that accused former president - trump and several of his co-defendants of pressuring public officers to violate their

oaths as part of an alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election. mcafee said district attorney fani willis and her prosecutors were not specific enough about the violations, writing "the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is fatal." just three of trump's 13 counts were tossed, including one for his january 2021 phone call to georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger. >> i just want to find 11,780 votes. >> reporter: trump's legal team applauded the ruling. >> it was a step in the right direction. it goes to the sloppiness of, frankly, the prosecutors down there. >> reporter: former federal prosecutor tom dupree said it was only a partial victory for trump. >> the judge's decision effectively has the result of narrowing the case against trump and the other defendants. it doesn't eliminate it entirely, though. >> it is a lie. >> reporter: mcafee's ruling comes ahead of a highly anticipated decision this week about whether willis and special

prosecutor nathan wade should be disqualified from the election interference case. last month, the pair admitted to having a romantic relationship for about a year after wade was hired, but denied any wrongdoing. >> the romantic relationship ended before the indictment was returned. yes or no? >> to a man, yes. >> reporter: the sprawling racketeering case against the former president and his associates remains largely intact, but if willis is disqualified, another attorney could be assigned to the case, which could significantly impact the proceedings. norah? >> and potentially delay them. nikole killion, thank you so much. turning now to the political turmoil and violence in haiti. a special team of marines is now in port-au-prince, providing additional security at the u.s. embassy there. this as a small group of the military heads in. some americans are being airlifted out, including a famous author. cbs' cristian benavides reports tonight on the unrest and the continuing gang violence.
