Summary
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has dismissed reports that his office is seeking to force Paramount to sell CNN as a condition for approving the proposed Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger. Bonta stated he has "no idea" where such claims come from, while confirming his office is conducting a standard antitrust analysis of the deal. The merger between David Ellison's Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery faces several regulatory hurdles, including potential scrutiny from Democratic attorneys general.
