The Writers Guild of America (WGA) urged New York's attorney general to investigate Paramount for potentially bribing Donald Trump to approve its merger with Skydance. This follows the cancellation of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," a show critical of Trump. The WGA suspects the cancellation was retaliation for Colbert's comments about Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump, which they call a bribe. Paramount claims the cancellation was a financial decision. The WGA highlights a pattern of Trump's attacks on the free press and calls for accountability.
