The group Free Speech For People is urging the AGs in both New York and California to open criminal investigations into Paramount’s deal with Donald Trump.

Free Speech For People announced in a statement:

Free Speech For People (FSFP) has formally requested that the Attorneys General of California and New York and the District Attorneys of Manhattan and Los Angeles initiate criminal investigations into Donald Trump’s scheme to obtain millions of dollars from Paramount Global and Skydance Media and to force changes to the news and entertainment content of Paramount subsidiary CBS Broadcasting Inc. In letters to the state and local prosecutors, FSFP attorneys called on them to determine whether Trump, senior administration officials, and Trump’s personal associates violated state laws and, if warranted, to bring criminal charges.
