Matt Drudge, editor and founder of the influential Drudge Report, accused Washington Post and Amazon owner Jeff Bezos of deliberately pushing his publication to write negative news about President Trump.

"WASHPOST owner personally motivated in bloodsport after Trump threat of AMAZON monopoly breakup," Drudge wrote Tuesday on Twitter, referring to comments Trump made about Bezos during the 2016 campaign. "Follow the clicks!"

Trump said during the campaign that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem," and said he suspected that Bezos opposed Trump's presidential run in part because Trump might seek to do something about it.



During the campaign, Trump frequently targeted the Washington Post and Bezos, who Trump said was using the publication for "political purposes" and as a tax write-off.

Drudge's tweet came a day after the Post reported that Trump shared national security-related secrets with Russian officials, which the White House has denied.
