.MaddowBlog: Possible Trump role raises concerns about Pentagon’s JEDI contract
At first blush, the Pentagon’s Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure contract – a multi-billion-dollar cloud-computing initiative – may only seem relevant to those closely involved with national security and the tech industry. But there’s a bit more to this one.
It’s entirely possible that Microsoft won the contract strictly on the merits and there’s no concern about possible presidential corruption. That said, Donald Trump hasn’t exactly made it easy to believe the most benign interpretation of events. Trump’s preoccupation with Bezos has always been a little weird. It’s effectively a political bank shot of presidential contempt: the Republican hates the Washington Post’s coverage of his administration, which leads Trump to hate its owner, which then leads the president to also hate Bezos’ other businesses, including Amazon Web Services.
Nevertheless, on the heels of the president’s comments, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he intended to review the contract. According to a Washington Post report, the Pentagon chief’s reexamination was the result of White House instructions and “11th-hour Oval Office intervention.”
