President trump hasnt talked about the allegations, but has repeatedly lashed out at bezos and white house coverage in the paper he owns "the washington post". >> "washington post," thats basically the lobbyist for amazon. >> on msnbc a reporter for the "post" citing a security consultant for bezos. >> he think its possible a government entity might have gotten hold of his text messages. >> reporter: the white house response? >> we wont get into a conversation between jeff bezos and a tabloid ma...

Influenced or they would release ten new embarrassing photos including ones where he is said to be make the naked. and besos published the e-mails. ami said they were investigate seaing they acted lawfully and at the time of the recent allegations, it was in good faith negotiations to resolve matters with him. complicated more with mr. becker. >> he thinks it is possible that his phone was not hacked, but a government entity got ahold of the text messages.

Heres your six hours back. that said, i should mention there was actually one other thing that we did learn from him today. you might remember what matthew whitakers job was before trump named him acting attorney general, part of what he did to prepare himself for becoming president trumps choice to be the nations chief law enforcement officer, part of his preparation for that job he was associated with a company called world patent marketing, recently ordered to pay a 26 million fine for being ...

Do something that would violate federal extortion law. its a very close call. theres a good argument to be made in many prosecutors are making it that the conduct could be charged. also theres the separate question though of whether ami has violate the its nonprosecution agreement. this i think is the question that presents them with more of a problem. prosecutors could stop short of charging them but find that they violated that agreement and that would of course, have legal repercussions for t...

His devices go they are being hacked into. so is it possible that some foreign power got aahold of his extramarital affair, e-mails and calls, and gave them to ami, and lets layer in did the white house know anything about ami extorting besos? did any of this come up in conversation? this is another criminal element added and it continues our organized crime theme of the day which is that were dealing with a racketeering enterprise. let me put up the presidents tweet on these topics. i think t...

Important reporting on another big piece of this. and this is the part of the story that i think a lot of people have felt like, oh, thats too hard to understand or thats too complex or thats part of this that i dont get. im going to sort of set that aside. today "the wall street journal" made it super obvious and plane because today "the wall street journal" described efforts by the government of saudi arabia to essentially buy themselves good western media coverage, to buy good western media c...

With this tabloid and national enquirer company? is that that valuable to the saudi government? it makes a lot more sense in the context of the saudi government trying to buy itself western media partnerships of all kinds with all different kinds of media in order to improve their image in the west and hurt their enemies. if ami is just one piece of that effort by the saudi government, that makes more sense. and amis efforts to pursue that kind of a lucrative partnership deal with the saudi gove...

> . in the era of "access poll ly hollywood" tapes and other scandals, it is hard to be surprised. the richer man in the world was featured on a tabloid. fast forward to last night, besos revealed what he called extortion and blackmail of ami. they privately demanded that he make a statement that he had no knowledgeover basis for suggesting that amis coverage of his affair was politically

Smart, and so they put things like this in writing, but the things they wrote. and then you have z besos who is shining the light on this behavior. who else could they have done this to, and besos is in a position where he can stand up to this behavior, and there is that cultural aspect of it. and the ami agreement that says they cant commit crimes for three years. >> that is tough. three years is long time. >> explain that, so ami is in a cooperation agreement with federal prosecutors to help t...

Perhaps the president or others in his inner circle on campaign finance charges. and the question here will be whether the government has already gotten what it needed out of ami or whether it needs their testimony on an ongoing basis in further prosecutions and where that leads us. that for me is the most important point to watch right >> jill, are you keeping an eye on the southern district of new york, as well? >> i am and agree withia joyce said. id like to go back to what stu said. i think ...
