The Trump administration just approved
Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance. This looks like bribery and
corruption, and I’ll tell you why.
Let’s rewind to 2024 when Trump sued CBS. At the time, CBS called this
“meritless.” Three months later, Trump became president. And instead of
fighting the case, CBS’s parent company, Paramount, settled the lawsuit.
Right out in public, they handed $16 million directly into some future
Trump presidential library.
Why would Paramount fold when it looked like they were going to win this
case? This merger was in talks at the time. And who needed to approve that
deal for it to go through? Donald Trump’s government.
This fishy settlement was what Colbert called out on The Late Show last
week. Then his show was coincidentally canceled three days later. They
said this was a “purely financial decision.” Sure…
I’ve been investigating Paramount’s potential corruption for months. Now
that this deal has gone through, I’m calling for an urgent, independent
investigation into any criminal behavior.
[ [link removed] ]Every single one of us needs to show Trump and CEOs that we see what
they are doing here, and we will not be silenced. Add your name if you’re
with me, and believe that the American people deserve answers and
accountability.

This deal lets every other billionaire and company know that Trump is open
for business — apparently happy to accept offers in exchange for favors.
On top of that, this deal is bad for competition and could make it more
expensive for you to stream your favorite TV show.
The Paramount payoff is part of a corrupt pattern of Trump exploiting the
power of the presidency both to profit personally and to punish his
perceived enemies.
ABC News handed over $15 million to Trump’s library in a settlement, Meta
dumped $22 million into the library to settle a lawsuit — and now Trump is
running the same play again, suing the Wall Street Journal over an article
that exposed details about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
The billionaires who run these major media companies may decide that it is
in their own financial interests to ease up on criticism of Trump, but if
they do so, they forfeit the critical role that the media has played in
our democracy. This is deeply concerning. And they owe the American public
frank answers.
I’m fighting back by introducing my Presidential Library Anti-Corruption
Act, which would bar sitting presidents from accepting donations to their
presidential libraries. I’m demanding transparency into the
Paramount-Skydance merger and conducting oversight into what happened
here. And I won’t let up on raising the alarm when we see what looks like
bribery in plain sight.
Democrats need to embrace the fight against corruption as a top priority.
Republicans need to grow a spine and get behind common-sense
anti-corruption measures. All of us must speak up on this. Every threat,
use of intimidation, and potential bribe undermines our democracy as it
moves Trump closer to absolute control.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name to demand answers on what looks like Paramount buying the
president’s favor in what’s just the latest example of Trump suppressing
speech, abusing his power, and enriching himself.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
