New Paramount CEO David Ellison has been asked to turn over all merger and settlement documents, as well as communications with the FCC and President Trump

Two House Democrats said they would examine whether Paramount Global and Skydance Media accepted “illegitimate demands” from President Donald Trump to secure approval of their July merger. Representatives Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Frank Pallone of New Jersey pointed to a financial settlement Paramount reached with the president shortly before the merger was approved and a statement Trump made that Skydance agreed to provide him with millions of dollars worth of free public service announcements.

Two top House Democrats are investigating whether Paramount and Skydance Media caved into "illegitimate demands" from President Donald Trump to get their $8B merger approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
