WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The California State Senate has opened an inquiry into whether Paramount violated state laws against bribery and unfair competition, Semafor reported on Friday.

The investigation comes after the network reportedly offered President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign $15 million to settle a lawsuit filed against CBS over an edited interview with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, the Wall Street Journal previously reported.

According to Semafaor, the Senate's communications committee and judiciary committee has invited two former CBS News officials to testify.
