Jeff Bezos launched an investigation into how the National Enquirer was able to obtain his personal text messages that revealed his affair with Los Angeles news anchor Lauren Sanchez, The Daily Beast reported.

Investigators don’t believe Sanchez leaked the messages nor do they think that Bezos’ phone was hacked. The team is looking into whether the leak of the text messages was politically motivated, given the Enquirer’s ties to President Trump.
