evidence: In addition, as already noted, Trump sought to have his Postmaster General raise shipping rates on Amazon packages in retaliation for criticism of the Trump administration by the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. This summer, Trump successfully pressured the Israeli government to bar entry by two members of Congress, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib, who have been among the president’s fiercest critics in Congress. Trump has also revoked the security clearance of former CIA director John Brennan, who called "treasonous" Trump’s performance in Helsinki, where the president appeared alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and sided with him over Trump’s own intelligence agencies with regard to whether the Russians had interfered in the 2016 American presidential election. Trump has also threatened to withhold disaster aid from states with Democratic administrations and hurricane funding from Puerto Rico, after the mayor of San Juan publicly criticized the administration’s response to Hurricane Maria, which killed about three thousand people on the island.
