The JEDI, or Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, deal has become one of the most hotly contested contracts for the Department of Defense.
However, the inspector general noted in its 313-page April report that it had limited cooperation from White House officials throughout its review and, as a result, it could not complete its assessment of allegations of ethical misconduct.At the time, Department of Defense spokesperson Lt. Col. Robert Carver told CNBC in a statement that the inspector general's report confirmed the Pentagon's JEDI cloud procurement process was conducted "fairly and in accordance with the law.
In December, Amazon's AWS chief Andy Jassy told CNBC that the cloud contracting was not adjudicated fairly."When you have a sitting president who's willing to be very vocal that they dislike a company and the CEO of that company, it makes it difficult for government agencies, including the DoD to make objective decisions without fear of reprisal. And I think that's dangerous and risky for our country," he told CNBC's Jon Fortt.
