Senate Democrats investigate CBS over blocked Colbert interview

Senate Democrats are pressing CBS and its parent company Paramount Global to release records related to an interview with Stephen Colbert that was reportedly blocked, citing concerns of censorship.

Senator Richard Blumenthal is requesting documents from the FCC and Paramount Global to investigate whether political considerations influenced editorial decisions surrounding the Colbert interview.
