Congress Probes Amazon's $40M Melania Trump Documentary Over Bribery Concerns

U.S. lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, have formally questioned Amazon about its $40 million acquisition of a Melania Trump documentary, suspecting potential bribery linked to favorable treatment from the Trump administration. The deal's unprecedented cost for a commissioned documentary has raised alarms about possible pay-to-play arrangements, involving White House renovation donations and inauguration luggage contributions. Congressional inquiries and the March 30 deadline for Amazon's response will determine whether legal violations occurred and set future standards on corporate political dealings.
