Trump allegedly ordered former Defense Secretary James Mattis to ‘screw Amazon’ one year before awarding a hotly contested $10 billion defense cloud contract to Microsoft Megan Hernbroth Trump ordered former Defense Secretary James Mattis to "screw Amazon" out of a lucrative government cloud contract, former Defense communications director Guy Snodgrass alleges in a new book, according to a preview from Task & Purpose.The revelations in Snodgrass's book, "Holding The Line: Inside Trump's Pentagon with Secretary Mattis," come less than a day after the Pentagon announced Microsoft had won a hotly contested $10 billion cloud computing contract that Amazon was favored to win.According to Task & Purpose, Snodgrass revealed that Trump called Mattis in the summer of 2018 and directed him to "screw Amazon" out of a chance to bid on the contract.Mattis pushed back on the request, Snodgrass said, because he wanted to pursue the contract "by the book, both legally and ethically." businessinsider.com [ Mattis is long gone, so now he has people who'll do what he wants. ]
