Esper Defends as Fair Pentagon Contract Disputed by Amazon

Associated Press

   SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper says he's
   certain that the awarding of a $10 billion cloud-computing contract to
   Microsoft instead of Amazon was done fairly.

   Esper was asked about the controversy at a news conference Friday in
   Seoul, South Korea.

   After the Pentagon awarded the contract to Microsoft in late October,
   Amazon announced its intent to challenge the decision in court. Amazon
   on Thursday said there was "unmistakable bias" on the government's
   part.
