This isn’t just Trump going after Amazon, sources tell me.
He is looking into the $10 billion Pentagon contract because several people he trusts have shared concerns about fairness of this bidding process, including @marcorubio, @SenRonJohnson, @ChuckGrassley, @MarkMeadows.

Sen. Ron Johnson told me today he discussed this JEDI contract with Trump aboard AF1 last wk on WI trip.

In Oval, Trump confirms yesterday’s Bloomberg scoop:
“So I'm getting tremendous complaints about the contract with the Pentagon and with Amazon. They're saying it wasn't competitively bid. ...
“And I will be asking them to look at it very closely to see what's going on.”

Trump on Pentagon’s JEDI cloud computing contract process: “...because I have had very few things where there's been such complaining.
“... complaining from different companies like Microsoft and Oracle and IBM.
Said he will be asking DOD “to look at it very closely.”
