Read all the emails Jeff Bezos says the National Enquirer sent to 'blackmail' him

• Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wrote a blog post on Thursday accusing National Enquirer publisher AMI of trying to extort him over naked photos of him.
• AMI allegedly sent Bezos emails describing the photos they obtained of him and former news anchor Lauren Sanchez, who he was having an affair with.
• These are the emails that Bezos says were sent to "blackmail" him.

On Thursday, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wrote a Medium blog post revealing the emails that he alleges were sent to blackmail him.

In the email, AMI, the publisher of the National Enquirer, threatened to publish personal photos of Bezos and former news anchor Lauren Sanchez, including a naked selfie of Bezos.

In January, the National Enquirer, a long-time ally of President Donald Trump, had published an exposé on the affair between Bezos and Sanchez. After that, Bezos hired investigators to look into who leaked his personal photos and texts.

AMI threatened to publish these photos unless Bezos and Gavin De Becker, Bezos' security boss leading that investigation into the exposé, make a public statement that they "have no knowledge or basis for suggesting that AMI's coverage was politically motivated or influenced by political forces." AMI also said it would keep those photos.

"Of course I don't want personal photos published, but I also won't participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favors, political attacks, and corruption. I prefer to stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out," Bezos wrote.

Here is the email that Bezos says he received from AMI, describing the photos it had obtained.
