Amazon Seeks To Depose Trump On Losing $10 Billion Contract Due To His “Personal Animus Towards Bezos”

Reuters reports:

Amazon wants to depose President Donald Trump over the tech company’s losing bid for a $10 billion military contract.

The Pentagon awarded the cloud computing project to Microsoft in October. Amazon later sued, arguing that Trump’s interference and bias against the company harmed Amazon’s chances of winning the contract.

The company said in a federal court filing in Washington on Monday that Trump has a “well-documented personal animus towards” Amazon, its CEO Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post, which Bezos owns.

According to Amazon, only Trump can testify about the message he sent to the Pentagon. Amazon also seeks to depose Defense Sec. Mark Esper.
