Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he is putting together an investor group to try to buy TikTok.

Mnuchin’s statements come shortly after the House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill that would force ByteDance to divest TikTok or the social media site would face a ban in the U.S.

“I think the legislation should pass and I think it should be sold,” Mnuchin told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok.”

Mnuchin did not specify who the other investors would be in such a deal.

This would not be the first high profile deal Mnuchin has been involved in since leaving the Treasury. Last week, Mnuchin’s Liberty Strategic Capital was a lead investor in a $1 billion capital raise to stabilize New York Community Bancorp.
