“President Trump has unique knowledge about his involvement in the bid process, including private conversations with and instructions to others about the process and the award.”
As part of an evidence gathering phase of an appeal on the awarding of the “JEDI” contract to upgrade the US military’s computing networks, Amazon asked a judge to call for depositions of Trump and other administration figures including Defense Secretary Mark Esper and his predecessor, James Mattis.
Amazon has alleged that Trump improperly intervened in the procurement process to deny the company the massive contract in late October. The Department of Defense strongly opposes Amazon’s effort to question some of its leaders, DoD spokesman Lt Col Robert Carver said in response to an AFP inquiry. An earlier court filing by Amazon detailed alleged errors that ended with Microsoft being chosen over its Amazon Web Services cloud computing division, part of the technology group led by Amazon chief Jeff Bezos.Amazon was considered the lead contender to provide technology for JEDI, with AWS dominating the cloud computing arena and the company already providing classified servers for other government outfits including the CIA.
