Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have evidence indicating Jeff Bezos ’ girlfriend provided text messages to her brother that he then sold to the National Enquirer for its article about the Amazon.com Inc. founder’s affair, according to people familiar with the matter. The text messages, which were reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, were among the materials turned over to federal prosecutors as part of their investigation into whether American Media Inc., publisher of the National Enquirer, attempted to extort Mr. Bezos... ***** The evidence gathered by federal prosecutors includes a May 10, 2018, text message sent from the phone of Lauren Sanchez, Mr. Bezos’ girlfriend, to her brother Michael Sanchez containing a flirtatious message from the Amazon chief, the people said. The Enquirer quoted the text in its January 2019 article about Mr. Bezos’ extramarital affair with Ms. Sanchez. A July 3, 2018, text message sent from Ms. Sanchez’s phone to her brother’s includes a photo of a shirtless Mr. Bezos.

“...includes a photo of a shirtless Mr. Bezos.”

Nobody needs to see THAT, LOL!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

So, is Ms. Sanchez still his girlfriend? *SMIRK*

Bezos tried to blame this on President Trump, and now Bezos is blaming the Prince of Saudi for hacking his phone.

[ameribbean expat]

Yes. For now.

I figured as much. I am very surprised they didn’t blame the RUSSIANS!!!!!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

She must be some hot potato! I’m pretty sure I’d dump my current flame if they sent info on me to a family member that leaked it to the NI!

But, Mr. Bezos and I live in entirely different worlds.

whether American Media Inc., publisher of the National Enquirer, attempted to extort Mr. Bezos

There was no extortion, the National Enquirer has been in the business for years, they know where the limit is

They probably asked Bezos for his comment on the affair - he was still married at the time - so when he refused, they said something like "OK, we'll go with what we have" and Bezos interpreted that as a threat

Not a threat or extortion, it's how newsbreaking works

Actually,she is kind of hard looking. Not really pretty. But she is a good home wrecker and knew how to get her rich sugar daddy

He doesn’t have enough money now for me to view that. I mean, he’s lost BILLIONS in his divorce - what good is he to me NOW? LOL!

“Jeff Bezos ’ girlfriend provided text messages to her brother.”

Doh! Bezos is a winner at business and a loser at life.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Didn't he accuse Trump of doing it?
