Warren urges US DOJ to scrutinize Disney-Fubo deal over antitrust concerns

( February 20, 2025, 19:59 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: US Senator Elizabeth Warren urged the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division to closely scrutinize the proposed deal between Disney and Fubo and warned of increased costs for television viewers.
