Paramount Global earnings are on deck for Thursday afternoon after the media and entertainment company has spent several weeks in the political spotlight. Paramount is scheduled to report second-quarter financial results after the stock market closes.

The high-stakes deal that came together this week resulted from months of back-and-forth among a constellation of power players with competing interests, including the president, the Larry Ellison family and mogul Shari Redstone.

Paramount told media outlets the money will go to Trump’s future presidential library, not to the president himself. It said the settlement did not involve an apology.
