In a long-shot move, two Republican attorneys general are hoping the Supreme Court will intervene to stop the antitrust lawsuit brought by 12 Democratic state AGs seeking to block Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and Montana AG Austin Knudsen filed a motion with the Supreme Court seeking to have the antitrust suit thrown out, naming California and the 11 other states party to the Paramount lawsuit as defendants. The suit was filed with the court on Tuesday, Aug. 25, according to Bird’s office. “Plaintiffs, the State of Iowa and State of Montana, respectfully move this Court for leave to file the attached Bill of Complaint to stop a politicized enforcement action that seeks to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger,” the filing says.
