A $10 billion military contract was awarded to Microsoft over Amazon this October. Amazon now wants to President Trump to submit to questioning related to their loss. The company has claimed that Trump’s interference and bias against the company is the reason for their loss. However, when asked for facts and proof Amazon stated that only Trump could speak to his conversations and influence regarding the awarding of the contract. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, and numerous other government officials have also been called out by Amazon and have demanded that they be imposed.
