Nachdem Skydance im Rahmen der CBS -Siedlung „Nebenvertrag“ mit Trump nicht abgelehnt hat, fordern Senator Warren wiederholt eine Untersuchung des potenziellen „kriminellen Verhaltens“

Nothing matters. The executive can do whatever they want now. I guess President AOC can shut down Fox.

I mean, he is a criminal, so all of his behavior is criminal behavior. Not that that seems to matter anymore

>Sen. [Elizabeth Warren](https://variety.com/t/elizabeth-warren/) isn’t convinced that [Paramount Global](https://variety.com/t/paramount-global/) and [Skydance Media](https://variety.com/t/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](https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/warren-investigation-paramount-trump-settlement-bribery-1236446129/).

>“These dodgy responses raise even more questions about whether Paramount and Skydance engaged in corrupt side deals or political favors to get their merger approved — and reveal why we need a full, independent investigation into whether there was any criminal behavior,” Warren said in a statement Friday.

>****************

>In response, Warren said, “Skydance admits it knew in advance that Paramount canceled the ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert,’ just days after Colbert called out Paramount for its ‘big fat bribe.’ These giant corporations must think Americans are fools if they think these half-answers resolve serious questions about whether they bribed their way to a merger approval.”

The settlement was most definitely a bribe.

There was a zero percent chance that Trump was going to win his lawsuit against CBS. It was so frivolous the attorneys could have been reported to the bar and sanctioned. It wouldn’t have even made it to trial.

Elizabeth Warren nailed it. These corporations do think Americans are fools because millions of Americans are actually fools. Trump managed to fool more than 70 million Americans, for a third time.

Imagine thinking anyone will do anything about this criminal.

Carter sold his farm, we’ve come a long way.

She is one of the very few Dems still having some balls.

The orange makeup is on the 12 year olds dress!

Criminals like Trump exhibit criminal behavior because.. they are criminals. The kind that rapes children with his pal, Epstein.

The rules no longer apply. He’s a criminal and acts accordingly. Stop playing like we’re in the same game.
