Fox’s $22 billion acquisition of Roku is poised to clear Justice Department scrutiny and move forward under a consent decree, according to people familiar with the deliberations, despite efforts from a right-wing ally of President Donald Trump to hold up the deal.
It’s unclear what a consent decree would entail, or what terms are being considered. It’s possible the DOJ could change course, the people said. Fox declined to comment.
Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward also declined to comment on the deal. “However, we can affirm that this DOJ under President Trump’s leadership will continue to prioritize affordability for all Americans across our economy,” he said in a statement.
