After Skydance Doesn't Deny 'Side Deal' With Trump as Part of CBS Settlement, Sen. Warren Repeats Call for Investigation

(Variety) Sen. Elizabeth Warren isn’t convinced that Paramount Global and Skydance Media did not engage in “corrupt side deals or political favors” with the Trump administration to get their merger approved.

Warren, the senior U.S. senator from Massachusetts, had sent letters to Skydance CEO David Ellison (on July 21) and Paramount Global’s three co-CEOs (on May 19), co-signed by Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon). The senators asked questions about Paramount and CBS’s $16 million settlement with President Trump over his “60 Minutes” lawsuit and the Skydance-Paramount merger deal — with the senators suggesting the settlement amounted to a bribe.
