House Democrats ramp up scrutiny of Paramount-Skydance merger over ‘inadequate’ response

Published November 12, 2025 5:40pm ET

Over the summer, Skydance joined Paramount after the latter settled a lawsuit with President Donald Trump for $16 million over last fall’s 60 Minutes controversy involving deceptive editing of then-Vice President Kamala Harris’s pre-election interview.
