Bezos' Brush Off: A Convenient Defense for Amazon's Troubling Deal Jeff Bezos' recent defense of Amazon's $40 million purchase of a Melania Trump documentary is a textbook example of corporate spin doctoring.

Bezos' assertion that he had nothing to do with the purchase is hard to swallow, given his close ties to the Trump administration.
