Bezos seeks $1.7 mn in legal fees from girlfriend's brother over defamation suit

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is seeking $1.7 million from his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez's brother Michael Sanchez to cover legal fees he incurred successfully defending a defamation lawsuit. Michael alleged in the lawsuit that Bezos falsely accused him of leaking his nude photos to a tabloid. A judge dismissed the case in November 2020 for lack of evidence.
