Paramount boss David Ellison to host dinner honoring Trump while awaiting federal approval to buy CNN: report

Media executive David Ellison is reportedly hosting an “intimate” Washington dinner next week “honoring” President Donald Trump, whose administration is weighing whether to approve Ellison’s $111 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery.

Ellison, CEO of CBS News parent company Paramount Skydance, will reportedly hold the dinner next Thursday at the U.S. Institute of Peace ahead of next weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, according to the media newsletter Breaker and Variety. The event will also reportedly celebrate CBS’s White House reporters. It is unclear if President Trump has been invited to or will attend the event.
