As questions linger around Jeff Bezos, identity of tabloid leaker is confirmed
The brother of the woman with whom Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was in a relationship was the person who tipped off the National Enquirer to their relationship, two people with knowledge of the matter confirmed to CNN on Wednesday.
The mystery of who provided the National Enquirer with information about the romance between Bezos and Lauren Sanchez has sparked much intrigue. Bezos launched an investigation into the matter, and the person leading that investigation has said evidence suggests it was a politically motivated leak. Bezos, in a blog post last week, suggested that either President Donald Trump or the kingdom of Saudi Arabia had possibly played a role, or that National Enquirer may have acted to curry favor with them.
Since then, two other news organizations have reported that Michael Sanchez, Lauren Sanchez's brother, was the initial tipster. The Daily Beast, citing sources at the National Enquirer's parent company, American Media Inc., reported Sunday that Michael Sanchez was the tabloid's source. The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Bezos' investigation had concluded Michael Sanchez leaked private text messages between the Amazon founder and Lauren Sanchez.
Michael Sanchez declined on Wednesday to provide CNN an on-the-record comment about whether he was the leaker. He previously denied to The Washington Post playing a role in leaking details about the relationship between Bezos and his sister, and told The New York Post he would not dignify such allegations with a response.
A representative for AMI told CNN on Wednesday that the company "declines to comment on sources."
