deirdre bolton has been monitoring the story all day.is a pretty damning report might want to ask you in the u.k. the ripple effect that could happen in the u.s. >> they are very real. if you look at the stock, you can see where investor anxiety showing up. go see on the chart you do have faith but down around a .5% in the past 52 weeks and not obviously is underperforming the s&p 500, 1.5% gain in that time. investors are anxious as to how facebook is handled these scandals at cambridge and also to cut is just one of course. the u.s. or rather europe and the u.k. are much more demanding about big tech, regulation and professor scott galloway has openly said that europe will call for the breakup of u.s. big tech and his is they have all the downside. so they have all the concerns about data privacy and none of the week they'll take your bragging rights or creation story. he mentioned a report that the u.k. government just published. one of the more damning conclusions in addition to suggestions for regulation is a statement from the u.k.

"the enquirer" said they had seen explicit photos of bezos. bezos hired a private investigator to see how they obtained photos. he says "enquirer" were worried about the threats against them and included. bezos published everything, list of racy photos the magazine claims to have and tons of emails. the e-mails look like they're from the lawyers representing "national enquirer" and magazine execs to bezos. bezos says i will quote from the blog he post, if in my position i can't stand up to this kind of extortion, how many people can? american media, which is the owner of course of the magazine responded saying, american media believes fervently that it acted lawfully in reporting the story of mr. bezos. nonetheless in light of the allegations published by mr. bezos the bore

deirdre bolton live in the newsroom with some new developments on this story. irdre. >> certainly, connell this is a crime in new york, we should underline this, expose secret or publicize material that will expose somebody to contempt or ridicule. jeff bezos says that is exactly what the "national enquirer" is trying to do. he is accusing the magazine of extortion and black mail. a few news outlets are reporting that federal prosecutors are reviewing "the national enquirer"'s handling of the story involving jeff bezos' affair trying to determine whether or not the tabloid violated a prior immunity agreement. american media, that is the "national enquirer"'s parent, was granted immunity last year in connection with its assistance into a investigation into michael cohen, president trump's former personal lawyer. so that treatment required the company to agree to commit no crimes whatsoever. if the company violated that, it is in a heap of trouble. i spoke earlier to professor scott galloway. he is at nyu. he just flat-out told me, ami is bankrupt. it just doesn't
