The Zhitong Finance App learned that, according to reports, Paramount Tianmu (PSKY.US) is in in-depth negotiations with state attorneys general to complete its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD.US), but not all state attorneys general support this plan. People familiar with the matter revealed that over the past few days, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has led a coalition of 12 states and filed lawsuits to challenge the deal, has been trying to reach a settlement agreement with Paramount. New York Attorney General Letitia James has always opposed the terms of the agreement and wants additional protections for employees. The report also said that Connecticut and at least two other states are also concerned about the settlement agreement and currently do not support the plan. These dissenting states want Paramount to make more concessions. According to another person familiar with the negotiations, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong is “working to maintain the independence of CNN and CBS News.”
