contracting process, including assertions that it
is rigged in favor of Amazon.
In addition to Trump’s pledge to “take a very
long look” at the complaints, his new defense
secretary, Mark Esper, is getting briefed on the
JEDI project to satisfy himself that it has been
handled fairly.
Esper told reporters on Aug. 2 that he was “not
directed” by the White House to review the
program, although he also said he has “heard
from” people in the White House, as well as
members of Congress, about the handling of the
JEDI contract.
“There’s so much noise out there that it deserves
an honest, thorough look,” Esper said. “And I
would do it with any program that raised this
much consternation, if you will.”
