President Trump has taken a particular interest in Paramount's plan to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $111 billion. We discuss why the president is backing the deal — which is on hold after a group of Democratic attorneys general challenged it in court — and how the president's relationship with the press is influencing the deal.
This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, media correspondent David Folkenflik, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
