Gavin de Becker said his investigation had concluded that the Saudis had access to Jeff Bezos' phone, and gained private information.
Jeff Bezos rejected a threat of"extortion" from the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc, over his sex texts with a breezy three-word email.
Jeff Bezos breezily replied to a threat of"extortion" from the National Enquirer in a three-word email. The contract would have required Bezos and de Becker to make a public statement in which they distanced AMI's reporting on the Sanchez affair from any political motivations. It also required them to say that the Enquirer had not used"electronic eavesdropping or hacking in their news-gathering process."Upon receipt of the email on February 6, de Becker said Bezos immediately replied:"No thank you.
"I'm writing this today because it's exactly what the Enquirer scheme was intended to prevent me from doing," de Becker said in the Daily Beast, before revealing that his investigation had concluded that"the Saudis had access to Bezos' phone, and gained private information."On Sunday, AMI denied that Saudi Arabia had any involvement in its story on Bezos — and did so by throwing a source under a bus.
