I ask you to open a congressional investigation and hold hearings to determine if CBS, Skydance Media, and/or Donald Trump committed any illegal acts related to the combined $36 million the two companies have reportedly committed to Trump as they seek to go forward with their corporate merger. Days after CBS canceled the Colbert show which had described CBS's $16 million settlement with Trump as a bribe, Trump announced that Skydance in turn has agreed to provide him $20 million worth of air time on top of the $16 million he extracted from CBS. As Senator Elizabeth Warren said, “This looks a lot, smells a lot, sounds a lot like you’re purchasing favors from the President of the United States. And that’s a serious problem. If those facts are proven, that sounds a lot like bribery.” It appears like Donald Trump is at least accepting, and perhaps even demanding, payments from Corporate America in exchange for not interfering with their business. Congress must investigate.
