AMAZON WANTS TO
QUESTION TRUMP OVER
LOSING $10B CONTRACT BID
Amazon wants President Donald Trump to
submit to questioning 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.
Amazon was considered an early front-
runner for a project that Pentagon officials
have described as critical to advancing the
U.S. military’s technological advantage over
adversaries. The project, known as Joint
Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, will
store and process vast amounts of classified
data, allowing the U.S. military to improve
communications with soldiers on the battlefield
and use artificial intelligence to speed up its war
planning and fighting capabilities.
