Summary
David Ellison's $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, already approved by the US Justice Department and EU regulators, may face a new obstacle from UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy. Nandy, who quit X (formerly Twitter) citing concerns about abuse and misinformation, could potentially block the merger deal from being completed by September.
