Oregon seeks 60-day pause on Paramount-Warner Bros merger over withheld records

The Oregon attorney general will ask a court to pause Paramount’s $110 billion bid to acquire Warner Bros for 60 days, saying on Tuesday the company withheld records on its lobbying efforts.

While Paramount ​has told the state it will not close the deal before July 16, Attorney General Dan Rayfield said he will ask a court in Multnomah County to order the company to hand over records and delay the deal so ‌the state can ⁠review them.
