California's attorney general has released explosive internal emails revealing Amazon's alleged years-long scheme to manipulate prices across the country's biggest retailers.
Attorney General Rob Bonta on 20 April 2026 secured public access to a largely unredacted version of a preliminary injunction filing in a lawsuit his office first brought against Amazon in 2022. The court documents lay out specific email exchanges in which Amazon directed vendors to pressure competing retailers into raising their prices, or pull products from shelves altogether.
