AXIOS (Sara Fischer) - Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger paused by federal judge

A federal judge has paused Paramount Skydance's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery in response to a lawsuit last week from a dozen state attorneys general looking to block the deal on antitrust grounds.
