Microsoft surprised most of the tech and political world when it was awarded a 10-year, $10 billion contract from the U.S.

Department of Defense for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI) project to transform the military use of the cloud.

Amazon, IBM, Oracle and Google had all been in the running, with Amazon thought to be the front-runner because it is the world largest cloud provider and had already built a cloud system for the Central Intelligence Agency.After Microsoft received the contract, plenty of people expressed the belief that President Trump had intervened to make sure Amazon didn&t win it, pointing to his constant criticism of Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post.

Fueling the speculation was a book published by a speechwriter for former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, which claimed that Trump wanted to freeze Amazon out of the contract.
