The Scoop
Fox’s $22 billion acquisition of Roku is poised to clear Justice Department scrutiny and move forward under a consent decree, according to people familiar with the deliberations, despite efforts from a right-wing ally of President Donald Trump to hold up the deal.
It’s unclear what a consent decree would entail, or what terms are being considered. It’s possible the DOJ could change course, the people said. Fox declined to comment.
