US DOJ backs Paramount in $1.88M bond dispute over Warner merger

The US Department of Justice filed support for Paramount Skydance's request that states seeking to block its merger with Warner Bros. Discovery post a $1.88 million bond to cover potential costs from the delay. This is a procedural move in ongoing litigation, indicating federal alignment with the merger against state opposition. The outcome affects merger timing and legal costs, but not the merger's merits.
