Bezos' girlfriend shared his texts, photos with friends before Enquirer leak
Fox News, Feb 12, 2019, Howard Kurtz

Jeff Bezos' girlfriend has privately acknowledged that she shared some photos and texts from the Amazon founder with several female friends, adding to the mystery of who leaked salacious material to the National Enquirer, according to a source close to the couple.

In addition, the girlfriend, television personality Lauren Sanchez, also had the contents of her computer downloaded onto her assistant's computer for safekeeping, according to the source.

What's more, investigators for Bezos are aware that Sanchez shared the photos and texts because, with her cooperation, they were able to trace the material in the cloud, where most computer and phone messages and images are stored.

It could not be determined whether any of the material that Sanchez shared with friends was sexually explicit. But it casts the probe in a new light at a time when Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, is accusing the Enquirer's parent company of trying to blackmail him over still-unpublished nude photos and intimate texts.

The firm, American Media Inc., owned by President Trump's friend David Pecker, has insisted that it obtained the Bezos texts and pictures lawfully.

"One. Any more than that, and it's no longer a secret."

Interesting angle.

The hypocrisy of Jeff Bezos
The Amazon founder poses as a liberal – but don’t be fooled
John R. MacArthur

... It is possible that the Enquirer thought it was a good story regardless of Pecker’s relationship with Trump: ‘Bezos… has been whisking his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet, sending her raunchy messages and erotic selfies — including one steamy picture too explicit to print here.’ And for what it’s worth, Bezos didn’t deny anything. But last week he hit back, accusing the Enquirer of ‘extortion and blackmail’. He claims that the paper’s executives threatened to publish some more even more raunchy selfies unless Bezos stated that he ‘had no knowledge or basis for suggesting’ the Enquirer’s original exposé was ‘politically motivated’.

Normally, celebrity bloodletting of this sort would not be worth discussing. But this feud is different, since Bezos is self-righteously posing as the virtuous and aggrieved party — a champion of quality journalism and the First Amendment besieged by a scandal sheet and a villainous politician bent on petty revenge. More importantly, the Bezos-Pecker battle underscores the hypocrisy of a liberal establishment so enraged at the thug in the White House that it’s willing to side with a ruthless monopolist whose success is built largely on the destruction of book publishers, authors and booksellers – the very infrastructure of American liberalism that Bezos purports to represent.  ...
