Media mogul John Malone says that the Trump administration informed Netflix that their proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery would be blocked, with the streaming giant then dropping out of the bidding and clearing the way for Paramount’s purchase.

At the Paley Center for Media’s International Council Summit on Wednesday, Malone said, “They were right on the verge of pressing on, and were told by the administration that they had no chance of getting regulatory approval from the U.S. I think that that was really the spike that got ’em.”
