California Attorney General Rob Bonta canceled a planned meeting with Paramount Skydance due to the company's alleged breach of confidentiality and misrepresentation during early settlement talks regarding its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Bonta leads a coalition of states suing to block the $110 billion merger on antitrust grounds, arguing it would create a dominant media giant. Paramount agreed to delay the deal's closing until June 2027 as the case heads to a trial scheduled for March. Bonta remains open to negotiations but demands substantial structural remedies from Paramount to resolve the lawsuit.
