Amazon accusing Parler of attempting to conceal owners

Amazon is accusing Parler of attempting to conceal ownership of the company in legal filings Tuesday as a lawsuit unfolds between the two companies stemming from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The retail giant’s attorneys argue that the social media company sued in Seattle’s King County in early March so “Parler could more readily escape” a hearing in front of a federal judge who already shut down a previous lawsuit filed in January.
