亚马逊CEO再上头条（讲解版）| E0213

▍原文

The Amazon chief executive, Jeff Bezos, has accused the publisher of the National Enquirer of "extortion and blackmail" in a blogpost alleging it threatened to publish revealing personal photos unless he publicly affirmed the paper's reporting was not politically motivated. 

Bezos, who is the world's richest man and owns the Washington Post, became the subject of tabloid papers in January after he and his wife, MacKenzie, announced they were divorcing. 

Shortly after, the National Enquirer published "intimate text messages" revealing Bezos's relationship with Lauren Sánchez, a former TV anchor.
