David Ellison, the new MAGA-friendly CBS boss, accidentally caught himself in a trap of his own design during an attempt to suck up to Trump.
After skipping out on an invitation to testify before Congress earlier this week by saying he was too busy to come to D.C., Ellison will host a dinner “honoring” Trump and CBS’s news team, inadvertently putting the media mogul in the very place he’s trying to avoid: Capitol Hill.
On Wednesday, the Paramount Skydance CEO declined an invitation to testify before Congress about his controversial $111 billion merger. The very next day, Ellison, 43, was sent a follow-up invitation. This time, he has no excuse.
