NEW: Amazon blames President Trump for its loss of the $10B JEDI cloud contract, according to a 103-page document made public Monday, accusing the president of “behind-the-scenes attacks” against the company.

says President Donald Trump launched “behind-the-scenes attacks” against the company, which led to it losing out on a major contract for cloud services.

In a heavily redacted, 103-page document made public on Monday, Amazon Web Services lays out why it’s protesting the Department of Defense’s decision to awardthe JEDI contract. AWS claims it didn’t win the JEDI contract, which could be worth as much as $10 billion, as a result of Trump’s repeated public and private attacks against Amazon and, specifically, its CEO Jeff Bezos.

“The question is whether the President of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of DoD to pursue his own personal and political ends,” the filing states. “DoD’s substantial and pervasive errors are hard to understand and impossible to assess separate and apart from the President’s repeatedly expressed determination to, in the words of the President himself, ‘screw Amazon.’ Basic justice requires re-evaluation of proposals and a new award decision.

DirtyDonny corrupts everything he touches

It's not the president's fault people are just starting to realize where the fake news and the lies in the b******* it's coming from, you didn't think they would know

F.A.

Shame on you, Amazon. You made me defend IQ45.

Well, Jeff B. Needs to put millions into NDLB2020 !!!

Jeff Bezos seeks the naked facts.

If you are looking for anybody to pay their fair share of taxes it’s Amazon.

Lol liberals desperately trying to make Jeff Bezos a “Hero” now, after 2yrs of being the dreaded super villain 😂😂😂 LiberalHypocrisy

Another example of Trump ising his office to punish anyone who criticizes his administration.

Microsoft pays their taxes. Amazon does not.

Amazon is using the roads more than we are, and they're making us drive farther to work.. and a myriad of other things.

Well.. I don't know the specifics.. but Amazon should have some tax responsibility if they're going to degrade 'real estate'. You have to consider property values.

donald being accused of more crimeslmao...Drain the swamp, Blue Wave!

This should make Sanders and Warren happy they hate Bezos and Amazon

I know I should care but I don't.

Have you heard of the Washington Post?

Behind the sceens? Isnt trump the one who keeps saying 'the corrupt amazon bezos Washington post' at rallies and press conferences and while he's shouting on the White House lawn and prob while he's sleeping because he's so angry at Jeff bezos for actually being a billionare?

Why is Amazon continuing to contest the major JEDI cloud contract that went to Microsoft after close evaluation of competing bids? Does Amazon believe it is superior to Microsoft in mastering the cloud technology?

I don't know Jeff!

That’s Bezos fault. Karma

TrumpMustGo

Break up amazon

Must be tough to be on the wrong side of politics. Just ask tea party groups

In other words, abuse of power. Imagine that. A pattern.

It stopped raining yesterday and the sun is out today. I will blame Trump for that

Well no surprise there. He constantly speaks negatively of Amazon and Bezos. Now, what are you going to do about it? Sue him like he takes everything to the courts!!!

That's what happens when you vote in a 'business' man. Conflict of interests and personal grudges galore. Enjoy US.

Amazon Snowflakes!

Write a letter to the editor of wapo

Apple 🍎 is better

He has attacked Bezos out in the open. Did anyone expect him not to do it in private too?

Why is the Bezos owned Washington Post not reporting this?

Prime time: New York's Amazon fight returns in 2020 electionsDemocratic primary challengers are taking on Amazon opponents with an appeal to voters who supported the corporation’s bid to build HQ2 in Queens. Oh, the one in which AOC thought NY was actually handing over 3 billion to bring them here when in reality 3 billion was gonna be deducted from the overall 27 billion in tax revenue NY would’ve received from Amazon... 🤦‍♂️. It’s nothing there. The US economy is booming and the green idiot policy in Europe is bleeding. Activists so close to Merkel and Macron it’s so funny. And they don’t have a clue. Ask William Happer. Happy Christmas Politico. One day, you imagine. Like Lennon. Power to the people. I live in Wisconsin. I have one word to say to you people in New York. Foxconn. Keep fighting AOC !!!!!!!!!
