It led to Bezos orchestrated a comprehensive review of how the newspaper gained access to his private text messages. Pecker and AMI, the company that owns the National Enquirer, seems to have become increasingly concerned over what information could come to light in the survey and sent messages on the images to Bezos in the hope of stopping the.
launched his presidential campaign in 2015, the National Enquirer, in principle, served as a kampanjorgan for Trump. It is likely to conflict with Bezos is politically motivated since Bezos owns the Washington Post, which published many important revelations about Trump. AMI and Pecker can also be worried that Bezos review the risk to reveal sensitive information about the company, for example, when it comes to its business interests in saudi Arabia.
the Conflict between Jeff Bezos and the Trump will probably escalate after this. Trump has for several years tried to mock and insult Bezos on Twitter, in an attempt to damage the credibility of the Washington Post’s reporting on him.
