Trump turns on CBS, Kushner pulls out and Paramount’s hostile bid for Warner Bros. shows signs of collapse
Paramount’s hostile bid for Warner Bros. showed signs of unraveling just moments after President Donald Trump aired fresh grievances about the flagship newsmagazine 60 Minutes. Just hours after Trump’s latest lashed out at CBS News, accusing the Paramount-owned network of treating him “far worse” since its new ownership took over earlier this year, Jared Kushner pulled his Affinity Partners private equity firm out of the Warner bid, as reports swirled that the Looney Tunes studio planned to reject the star-topped mountain.
