Amazon is moving forward with its complaint against the Trump administration over allegations Trump prevented Amazon from winning the Pentagon’s Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) contract.

In court documents unsealed Monday, Amazon Web Services (AWS) indicated they were seeking the chance to depose President Donald Trump in court, in addition to former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and current Defense Secretary Mark Esper, according to CNBC.

AWS first raised complaints against the Trump administration in November after competitor Microsoft won out on the estimated $10 billion JEDI contract. Amazon has alleged Trump sought to influence the contract process, “to harm his perceived political enemy—Jeffrey P. Bezos.”

Amazon wants to know what conversations between Trump and those deciding the outcome of the bidding process may have occurred.
