Amazon wants to depose President Trump, Defense Sec. Esper and former Defense Sec. Mattis over the $10 billion JEDI contract awarded to Microsoft.
In November, Amazon filed a notice in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims indicating a plan to protest the Pentagon's decision to award Microsoft the multibillion-dollar cloud contract. Amazon claimed that the JEDI evaluation process contained "clear deficiencies, errors, and unmistakable bias."in court documents made public last December that Trump launched "behind-the-scenes attacks" against the company, which caused it to lose out on the JEDI contract.
"While other individuals can testify about specific conversations he had with them individually, President Trump is the only individual who can testify about the totality of his conversations and the overall message he conveyed," according to the filings. "Moreover, President Trump has unique knowledge about whether he had other, previously undisclosed conversations with individuals not previously identified, and who therefore do not appear on the deposition list.
AWS claims Esper intervened in the JEDI award process to "conduct an 'examination' at President Trump's behest." Esperlast August that he would review the JEDI contract and recused himself from the JEDI source selection process last October. AWS said the timing, circumstances and announcement of Esper's recusal raises concerns and that it would seek further details about his recusal by deposing Esper.
