Discovery stock is showing upward bias. What’s next for WBD stock?\nA lawsuit from R.J. Cipriani filed this week against Paramount Skydance and Paramount adds to the headlines surrounding the high-profile acquisition battle for Warner Bros. Discovery that has also gotten members of Congress worked up.\nCipriani is a confidant of Paramount President Jeff Shell and previously filed a lawsuit against Shell this month. The update now sees Cipriani taking on both Ellisons, Paramount and other Paramount figures, as reported by Deadline.\n\"Paramount is aware of the frivolous lawsuit and believes the claims are entirely without merit,\" a Paramount spokesperson told Deadline. \"There is no factual or legal basis for any claim against Paramount, its Directors or its major shareholders, and the Company intends to defend these allegations vigorously.\"\nWhile the lawsuit doesn't target President Trump, it lays out several claims of the president's involvement in the merger.\nCipriani claims Trump gave a \"direct personal assurance\" to Larry Ellison in Paramount's bid for Warner Bros., something that was allegedly disclosed by Shell to Cipriani.\n\"Larry, it looks like Netflix is gonna get Warner Bros., but if you really, really want it, Larry, I'll make sure you get it,\" Trump allegedly said, according to the lawsuit.\nBenzinga reached out to the White House for comment and did not hear back.\nWhether the comments in the lawsuit are true, Trump has publicly supported the Ellisons, calling them \"good friends.\"\nTrump has gone back and forth during the process of whether he would have a hands-on role in deciding who would get Warner Bros. and allowing the Department of Justice make a ruling.\nSecretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently called out Warner Bros.-owned cable network CNN as \"fake news\" and said, \"the sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.\"\nThe comment suggests the support from the White House to have a Trump ally as the owner of a news network that isn't currently in favor with the president.\nThe Trump administration signaled support for Paramount in the war for Warner Bros. from the start.\nThe senior administration official went on to say the best players in the suitor pool are \"the Ellisons.\"\n“Warner really needs to think really hard about the odds of success getting the deal cleared with players outside of Paramount Skydance.”\nThe comments suggested that other bidders, like Netflix, could face regulatory hurdles if they chose to pursue an acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.\nParamount has been declared the winning bidder by Warner Bros. Discovery and now awaits approval from Trump's Department of Justice.\nImage via Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2620295385","isCrawlerRequest":true}
