The judge overseeing the antitrust case filed by 12 state attorneys general seeking to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger questioned the parties about their settlement at a hearing Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín has not yet ruled on whether to approve the proposed settlement, and set the virtual hearing to cover “outstanding questions” about it. She did not indicate when she might issue a ruling, saying that would be coming in “due course.”
