Jared Kushner's private equity firm says it is dropping out of the group of firms that planned to back Paramount Skydance's hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery.

After the Wall Street Journal reported that Ellison had promised to deliver political obedience, telling Trump he would make “sweeping changes” to CNN once the deal closed, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt sneered that CNN “would benefit from new ownership.” Both she and Trump also publicly berated CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins this week.

For a man who vowed to stay out of the political spotlight, Jared Kushner is finding himself very much in its glare.
