Trump slams & Jeff Bozo & # 39; Washington Post over Amazon Founder's Divorce
On Sunday, President Donald Trump made a new nickname for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and praised the "far more accurate" National Enquirer report that revealed Bezo's alleged affair at the expense of Bezo's own withdrawal, The Washington Post.
"So sorry to hear the news that Jeff Bozo is being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post," trumpet tweeted. "Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better and more responsible hands!"
Bezos, 55, announced his divorce from wife MacKenzie Bezos on Wednesday, and news of the billionaire's relationship with former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez broke.
Amazon CEO, worth a reported $ 1[ads1]36.4 billion, has reportedly been dating Sanchez, 49, for four months. The National Enquirer – a tabloid newspaper whose parent company had a practice of buying the rights to negative stories of Trump without thinking about publishing them – revealed the relationship and claimed to have followed the couple's undercover for months.

Last month, federal prosecutors announced that they had reached a "non-persecution agreement" with American Media, Inc. (AMI), which publishes Enquirer. As part of the deal, AMI admitted that it paid $ 150,000 to former Playboy model Karen McDougal for the rights of her story of having a sexual relationship with Trump "to suppress the [McDougal’s] story to prevent it from affecting the election." [19659003] Prosecutors say the payment to McDougal was orchestrated by Trump's then lawyer, Michael Cohen, at Trump's direction.

A Bezos lawyer told the tabloid that Bezos "supports journalistic efforts and does not intend to counteract reporting on him."
Trump is often critical of the post and criticizes unfavorable coverage as he dubs "false news." Bezos bought the record as a person in 2013 and Amazon .com Inc. was not involved.
