Abstract:Jeff Bezos' investigator thinks the National Enquirer ran its story on Bezos' affair to please its Saudi investors, Vanity Fair reported.
Jeff Bezos' security chief is preparing a report on his investigation into the leak of Bezos' texts and information about his affair with a former TV personality to the National Enquirer, Vanity Fair reported.In the report, Gavin de Becker, the security chief, is expected to accuse the Enquirer of running the story as a favor to its Saudi investors, according to Vanity Fair.Bezos hinted at Saudi involvement in a Medium post last month.Jeff Bezos' investigator is planning to accuse the National Enquirer of publishing its story about Bezos' affair as a favor to investors from Saudi Arabia in an upcoming report, Vanity Fair reported on Monday.Bezos asked Gavin de Becker, his longtime security chief, to look into the leak of his text messages with Lauren Sanchez and information about his affair with the former television anchor. In a post on Medium last month, Bezos hinted that there was a link between Saudi Arabia and the Enquirer's coverage of him.American Media Inc., the Enquirer's parent company, has a “crushing” amount of debt, and the Enquirer's circulation has been plummeting, Vanity Fair said. The company raised $460 million to refinance its debt in January. De Becker's apparent theory is that the Enquirer ran the story on Bezos to return a favor to its Saudi backer, according to Vanity Fair.In his Medium post, Bezos implied that Saudi Arabia hates him because he owns The Washington Post, which has published stories critical of the country after the murder of the Saudi citizen and Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.Representatives for Bezos and for American Media Inc. didn't immediately respond emailed requests for comment about the Vanity Fair report.Read the full report in Vanity Fair.
