united states. >> tiktok has repeatedly said it does not share americans user data with the chinese government, and that those concerns have never been substantiated. >> there was a little bit of skepticism from the judges, because the fact is this was passed by congress and the judge said, why is tiktok questioning this thing that was passed with such bipartisan support by congress? >> the judge's decision is expected in december. if tiktok loses, it could appeal to the supreme court ahead of the january deadline to sell or be banned in the u.s. lionel >> all right, christiane, thank you so much. time now for your tuesday weather. >> as severe flooding has unfolded yesterday in southern north carolina, heavy rain is going to expand further north, with some areas seeing 2 to 4in in northern north carolina and even 4 to 8in as we wind down the rainfall in eastern north carolina. still very heavy rain, though this morning in northeastern north carolina, pushing into central parts of virginia. we'll get some beneficial showers further north and west, but the bulk of the
