Скачать или смотреть Paramount’s capitulation to Trump is a dark day for press freedom

Paramount Global announced late Tuesday that it will pay $16 million to settle an entirely frivolous and unconstitutional lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump over the editing of a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.

It’s been widely reported that the settlement is intended to clear the way for federal approval of the sale of Paramount to Skydance Media, which will result in a multimillion-dollar payout to Paramount Chair Shari Redstone.

Three U.S. senators previously launched an investigation into whether paying off Trump through a settlement to obtain approval of the sale would violate federal bribery and other laws, and the California Senate opened a similar investigation.

We’re also not done fighting. We’ve already filed a shareholder information demand and are sending a second demand today to uncover information about this decision.

Watch our Executive Director Trevor Timm explain why Paramount directors should be held accountable and we will do all we can to make that happen.
