While Trump has asked the Supreme Court to block a looming U.S. ban on TikTok, many of his Republican allies have urged the opposite.

The Supreme Court hears oral arguments Friday in a case over the future of social media giant TikTok in the United States, a challenge that experts say also could affect the power of Congress to regulate social media.

Niki Christoff, CEO of Christoff & Co., joins CNBC's 'Squawk Box' to discuss the legal proceedings behind the TikTok ban, the potential that Trump could pause the ban, and more.

Trump's lawyers argued that the justices should step in and pause his sentencing "to prevent grave injustice and harm to the institution of the presidency."

Forcing President Trump to prepare for a criminal sentencing in a felony case while he is preparing to lead the free world imposes an intolerable, unconstitutional burden,' his defense team argued.
