Oregon’s attorney general’s office withdraws legal actions related to the proposed Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger, according to filings and statements reported by multiple outlets. The Oregon Department of Justice had previously sought to delay the merger’s closing and issued a civil investigative demand (CID) asking Paramount to provide records connected to the company’s efforts to secure federal approval. On Friday, Oregon withdrew its motion to delay the deal in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland. The merger could proceed and close as early as July 22, though the timing remains subject to ongoing regulatory review. The reports also note that several states—including Oregon and California—are investigating whether the approximately $111 billion transaction complies with antitrust and other state interests. While Oregon’s court motion and records demand are dropped, other state investigations and federal review processes continue, and the merger’s final approval is still dependent on regulators.
