WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Amazon Web Services is seeking to depose President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Mark Esper in its lawsuit over the awarding of a U.S. military contract for cloud computing to Amazon rival Microsoft, according to a spokesperson.

The company is alleging that Trump, who has publicly derided Amazon head Jeff Bezos and repeatedly criticized the technology giant, exerted undue influence on the decision to not grant it the $10 billion contract.
