In his newest attack on Jeff Bezos [cnet.com], presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump says the Amazon chief executive and Washington Post owner has "a huge antitrust problem."

Trump has taken on Bezos before [cnet.com], but on Fox News' "Hannity" show on Thursday he accused Bezos of anticompetitive business practices [youtube.com]. The attack on one of the technology industry's biggest powers comes as Post investigative reporters dig into Trump's past [politico.com] for a forthcoming book.

"He's got a huge antitrust problem because he's controlling so much. He bought the Washington Post for practically nothing. He's using it as a tool for political power against me and other people. We can't let him get away with it," Trump said. "Amazon is getting away with murder, tax-wise. He's using the Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don't tax Amazon like they should be taxed."
