Oregon’s attorney general will ask a court to force Paramount to comply with investigative demands tied to its bid to acquire Warner Bros, per Reuters-reviewed documents. The move increases regulatory/legal friction around the deal, which could slow or complicate timing and execution. While no financial terms are changed, the procedural escalation raises downside risk for deal progress.
