Amazon’s Jeff Bezos Denies Any Role In ‘Melania’ Greenlight But Calls It “A Very Wise Business Decision”

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos reiterated that he personally had no part in greenlighting Melania, the documentary on the current First Lady, but called it a “very wise business decision” for the tech giant.

“We have denied it. Melania’s office has denied it. It’s not true,” Amazon’s co-founder, former CEO and now executive chairman told CNBC on Wednesday when asked whether the project resulted from a visit he made to President Trump’s compound in Mar-a-Lago. “I had nothing to do with that. By the way, it appears it was a good business decision. You know, it did very well in theaters. It’s done very well on streaming. People are very curious about Melania. So even though I had nothing to do with it, you know, it appears that the Amazon team made a very wise business decision.”
