Trump Institute of Peace, formerly known as the United States Institute of Peace, on April 23, just two days before Trump is set to attend the annual media gala for the first time as president.<\/p>\n<p>According to a copy of the invitation obtained by Breaker Media, the dinner will be &#8220;honoring the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/white-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump White House<\/a> and CBS White House Correspondents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/hegseth-scolds-cnns-unserious-report-iran-conflict-suggests-paramount-should-overhaul-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>HEGSETH SCOLDS CNN&#8217;S &#8216;UNSERIOUS&#8217; REPORT ON IRAN CONFLICT, SUGGESTS PARAMOUNT OWNER SHOULD OVERHAUL NETWORK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ellison is currently pursuing a $110 billion merger with Warner Bros.

Trump has been vocal in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/trump-says-any-deal-buy-warner-bros-should-include-cnn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his demands for new leadership at CNN<\/a> during Paramount&#8217;s bidding war for the network&#8217;s parent company against Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the merger point to the perceived coziness between Ellison and Trump, fearing that Ellison will remake CNN into a pro-MAGA network. Ellison&#8217;s billionaire father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, is financially backing Paramount&#8217;s bid and is a top Trump ally in Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/kara-swisher-vows-leave-cnn-paramount-takes-over-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>KARA SWISHER VOWS TO LEAVE CNN IF PARAMOUNT TAKES OVER NETWORK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, Ellison insisted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/paramount-ceo-david-ellison-vows-maintain-cnns-editorial-independence-after-takeover-amid-staff-fears\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN would maintain &#8220;editorial independence&#8221;<\/a> but that the goal would be to appeal to the 70% in the center left and center right instead of the political fringes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Neither Paramount nor the White House immediately responded to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a>&#8216;s requests for comment.
