Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says that there’s “no basis” for a probe into billionaire Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.

Yellen’s comments came after President Joe Biden indicated that the Twitter acquisition was “worth being looked at” from a national security standpoint because foreign financing was involved.
