NEW: Amazon says it wants to depose President Trump and Defense Secretary Esper as part of its JEDI contracting protest, according to documents unsealed in court today.

Amazon also says it wants to depose former Defense Secretary Mattis.
Here are the topics AWS wants to cover in the deposition of Trump. See the footnote: “AWS recognizes that a deposition of a sitting President of the United States presents unique circumstances…"
More Amazon: "The question is whether the President of the United States should be allowed to use the budget of the DoD to pursue his own personal and political ends.”

CNN has confirmed that Shadow Inc. is behind the app that Iowa precinct chairs struggled with last night, and the same app is expected to be deployed in Nevada. cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…
Update: Both Buttigieg’s campaign and the Texas Democratic Party acknowledge they hired Shadow, but only for the company’s text messaging voter contact service: cnn.com/2020/02/04/pol…

FEC records also show that Shadow has been used by Biden, Gillibrand and Wisconsin Dems.

And now, moments later, Twitter's stock is being hammered

For years, Epstein allegedly lured girls as young as 14 to come to his estates in Manhattan and Palm Beach for what they thought would be massages. Instead, he sexually abused them, according to documents unsealed in court. #PerversionofJustice
And there could be more victims. U.S. attorney Geoffrey Berman urged others who might have been Epstein’s prey to contact his office. #PerversionofJustice
