| Amazon's Bezos says National Enquirer tried to blackmail him We have pictures of you cheating on your wife now say we are not Trump's attack dogs or we publish Amazon boss Jeff Bezos has accused the owner of the National Enquirer of trying to blackmail him with the threat of publishing “intimate photos” he allegedly sent to his girlfriend unless he said in public that the supermarket tabloid’s reporting on him was not politically motivated. Writing in his bog, Bezos said that the whole thing was part of a battle with the tabloid publisher, which has had close links with the president of the United States Donald (Prince of Orange) Trump who has also made it clear that he does not like Amazon. Bezos said that he didn't want his photos published, but he also would not participate in the papers " well-known practice of blackmail, political favours, political attacks, and corruption." "I prefer to stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out.” Bezos and his wife announced last month that they were divorcing after 25 years of marriage, following a period of “loving exploration” and a trial separation. That same day, the National Enquirer touted it was publishing alleged intimate text messages between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, a former television anchor whom he was said to be dating. Shortly after that, Bezos opened an investigation into the leak led by Gavin de Becker, a longtime security consultant and former appointee of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. De Becker proceeded to tell the media that the leak was politically motivated. Bezos, Amazon and the newspaper he owns privately, the Washington Post, have all been targets of attacks on Twitter by U.S. President Donald Trump. https://fudzilla.com/news/48106-amaz...-blackmail-him |
