Democratic US senators Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden, along with their liberal colleague Bernie Sanders, are pushing for information on Paramount’s efforts to settle a lawsuit filed by Donald Trump against CBS News’s 60 Minutes – in hopes of determining whether the media company is violating a federal bribery statute, the Wall Street Journal reported.
In a letter to Paramount chair Shari Redstone, the senators wrote that they are concerned the media company “may be engaging in improper conduct involving the Trump administration in exchange for approval of its merger with Skydance Media”.
