It鈥檚 not the first time Trump has taken a shot at the publication and Bezos. In December, he called Bezos鈥 ownership of The Washington Post a scam, He has also accused Amazon of violating antitrust laws.

鈥淗is theory is that we are somehow an avenue for Jeff Bezos to avoid taxes for Amazon,鈥 Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold told Seattle鈥檚 Morning News on 成人X站 Radio.

Details on Tuesday鈥檚 healthcare decision

Fahrenthold continued to discuss Tuesday鈥檚 motion to proceed discussion of a Senate GOP healthcare bill. He says he isn’t quite sure what the new bill entails at all.

鈥淭here is no latest bill. This is a really extraordinary moment where they鈥檙e basically voting to begin debate on a bill that would cover one-sixth of the economy and they don鈥檛 have a bill, they don鈥檛 know what it says,” Fahrenthold said.

“Lately, the most recent sort of theory that I鈥檝e seen people talk about is that they鈥檙e just going to vote for what they call 鈥榮kinny repeal,鈥 which is they鈥檙e just going to repeal some pretty unpopular provisions of the Affordable Care Act: the individual mandate to buy insurance, the employer mandate to provide insurance, and a medical device tax that people don鈥檛 like. They鈥檙e going to leave in place every other part of Obamacare. The idea is they just want to have the Senate pass something because then they can go to a conference committee with the House.鈥

as Fahrenthold discusses what kind of changes the health sector could face, the latest news with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and his own investigation into President Trump鈥檚 business dealings.
