California AG Cites No Talks in Paramount-WBD Merger Antitrust Challenge

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has stated that no settlement negotiations are currently scheduled with Paramount regarding the antitrust challenge to the proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. Bonta made these remarks on Tuesday, continuing to express criticism towards the companies involved.

The Attorney General's office had previously canceled a scheduled session on Monday intended for potential settlement discussions. Bonta indicated that the companies were responsible for leaks related to the ongoing situation, further complicating the path toward a resolution for the significant media merger.
