MAGA-Coded CBS Boss’ Cozy Dinner to ‘Honor’ Trump Has Staff Seeing Red

A closed-door dinner to “honor” President Donald Trump is stirring tensions inside CBS News.

The event was held at the U.S. Institute of Peace—rebranded as the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace by the president himself—and hosted by Paramount CEO David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison, as his company seeks federal approval for a $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery.
