Well, Amazon and Jeff Bezos say that President Trump intervened to block them from getting a giant cloud computing contract with the Pentagon because Trump doesn't like Bezos because he owns The Washington Post.

What did the FBI report into the Russian inquiry show?
Well, it's very long, but it does not vindicate Trump's narrative that he was illegally spied on by the FBI and the Russia investigation was illegitimate.
