As the White House this month weighed how hard to engage Amazon founder Jeff Bezos over his criticism of its economic policies, it brought back a senior aide whose firm does work for the company.

Critics have argued that Dunn’s shuffling between her role at SKDK and her stints at the White House creates ethical dilemmas for the Biden White House. She had served in the White House in the early months of the administration before returning to her firm and then recently came back in anticipation for the midterms.

A White House official said that Dunn, specifically, did not serve on an Amazon account and added that under the administration’s ethics pledge, Dunn would be recused from matters involving SKDK or clients that she worked for in the previous two years. However, she would not need to recuse herself from matters involving Amazon, the official said.

The former employee said SKDK mostly works for Amazon’s cloud computing arm, AWS, as it competes against rival cloud computing giant Microsoft. A former SKDK employee also said that Amazon’s lawyers brought in the firm to do public relations work related to the litigation over JEDI, the highly competitive Pentagon contract that would have allowed one company to create the Defense Department’s cloud computing infrastructure.

Oh yeah, this will work out just great for Bezos....not so much for the rest of us.

Let's see, Bezos underpays and overworks his employees, fights unionization and avoids paying taxes sounds like just the guy I would want to hear from about economic policies.

* Bezo’s Is WRONG!!… . This Is ‘GLOBAL’ Inflation - It Is Worse In: Africa Europe Asia M.East S.America . This Is A ‘GLOBAL’ Problem. .

The WhiteHouse and POTUS have Constitutional limits on their actions against a private citizen. Clearly the Constitution is no longer the governing document of our society

Wow…who cares.

gotta keep the 1% happy🙄

for fuck's sake so what?
