Elizabeth Warren Calls for 'Investigation' Into Paramount's Trump Settlement Amid Pending Merger Approval: 'Looks Like Bribery'
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for an investigation into Paramount's $16 million settlement with President Donald Trump as the entertainment giant awaits federal approval for a pending merger. "This looks like bribery in plain sight," Warren wrote in an X post shared Wednesday. "Paramount folded at the same time it needs Trump's approval for a billion-dollar merger." "I'm calling for an investigation into whether any anti-bribery laws were broken, and I'm working on a new bill to rein in this kind of corruption," Warren added. In October 2024, Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against CBS News and its parent company, Paramount, alleging defamation over a "60 Minutes" interview with then–presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris, PBS News reported. Trump claimed an interview segment concerning the Middle East was deceptively edited to portray Harris more favorably. In February, he amended the complaint, increasing the demand to $20 billion and adding federal claims of false advertising and unfair competition. On Tuesday, Paramount agreed to a $16 million settlement, according to CBS News, which will be paid out as a contribution to Trump's future presidential library and coverage of the plaintiffs' legal fees and costs. The agreement comes as Paramount Global awaits federal approval for its proposed $8 billion merger with Skydance Media. In recent weeks, lawmakers, regulatory experts and shareholders have raised concerns that Paramount's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, and others involved in the settlement could face potential bribery allegations, Deadline reported. Critics have argued the financial settlement was made in exchange for Trump smoothing the path to regulatory approval, mirroring lawsuits and political battles he has waged against Disney and NBCUniversal.

Republicans in Congress see highest approval rating in more than a decade: Poll
A record-high share of American voters are content with the work of Republican lawmakers, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll. In the survey, conducted in late June, 36 percent of registered voters approve of the job Republicans in Congress are doing — the highest level recorded since pollsters began asking the question in 2011. The latest approval rating also marks a 10-point jump from the last time the question was asked, in February 2024, when 26 percent of registered voters approved of the job Republicans in Congress were doing. Before that, the survey was conducted in March 2021, when 28 percent approved; and in January 2019, when 29 percent approved. The question was asked numerous times each year from 2011 to 2018. The previous high was recorded in March 2015, when 33 percent of registered voters approved of the job Republicans in Congress were doing. The record low came just a few months later, in August 2015, when 19 percent approved of the job they were doing. The jump in GOP approval comes as the party has taken back control of both chambers of Congress. Democrats in Congress, meanwhile, have seen a dramatic drop in their approval rating in the latest poll. Only 27 percent of registered voters approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing — down 12 points since February 2024. In the March 2021 poll, Democrats saw their record-high approval of 41 percent. This latest approval rating is tied for the lowest that congressional Democrats' have recorded since the survey began in 2011. It is also only the third time in the survey's history that congressional Republicans led their Democratic counterparts in approval ratings: Republicans led by 3 points in March 2015 and by 1 point in December 2014. Congressional Democrats' showing in the latest poll seems to be fueled by members of their own party — only 44 percent of Democratic respondents approve of their party's work in Congress, while 43 percent disapprove. Meanwhile, among Republican respondents, 73 percent approve of the GOP's work in Congress, while 15 percent disapprove. Among independents, 25 percent gave a nod of approval to the job Republicans in Congress are doing, while 20 percent approve of the job Democrats in Congress are doing. The survey was conducted on June 23-25 and included 1,381 adults, with a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points. The survey included 1,206 registered voters, with a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
