Trump enters Warner Bros. fight, says it's 'imperative that CNN be sold' [View all]

President Donald Trump inserted himself directly into the battle for control of Warner Bros. Discovery on Wednesday, saying, “It’s imperative that CNN be sold,” while deriding the network’s news coverage.

Trump’s comments during a White House roundtable indicated that he favors Paramount’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, WBD for short — though he did not mention Paramount by name.

Paramount, led by CEO David Ellison with backing from his father, billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, is the only company trying to buy all of WBD, including CNN. Netflix signed a deal last week to buy Warner Bros. and HBO, but not the news brand.

“You have some good companies bidding,” Trump said in response to New York Post reporter Geoff Earle, who asked, “What changes do you want to see at CNN under new leadership?”
