davis. >> reporter: federal prosecutors are now reviewing those bombshell allegations by jeff bezos, who claims "the national enquirer" attempted to extort and blackmail him by threatening to release compromising photos. the tabloid saying they acted lawfully and what they called negotiations with the amazon founder. but after he says he was threatened with those photos, he decided to go public, posting a lengthy blog which allegedly contained e-mails between him and representatives of the "national enquirer," leaving in embarrassing details, writing, of course i don't want personal photos published but i also don't want to participate in their well known practice of blackmail, political favors and political corruption. it all started last month when just days after bezos and his wife announced they were divorcing after 25 years, private text messages with his alleged mistress, lauren sanchez, were published by the "enquirer." bezos, who also owns "the washington post," which reports extensively on the trump administration, hired his own investigators, he says, to determine how the tabloid got pictures of him and if they were politically motivated, referencing ami chairman and ceo david peckerer's close relationship with the president who has frequently gone after bezos. >> "washington post," i have to tell you, i have respect for jeff bezos, but he bought "the washington post" to have political influence. >> reporter: bezos says he started receiving threatening e-mails referring to those personal photos that included a below the belt selfie and one of bezos naked wearing a white towel and a wedding ring. according to the e-mails, the company would agree not to publish, distribute, share or describe unpublished texts and photos. in exchange, bezos would stop his investigation and publicly state that he has no knowledge that the enquirer's reporting was politically motivated and one more major turn as prosecutors will now be reviewing whether the owners of the "national enquirer" violated an immunity agreement they reached with feds looking into a campaign finance violation that involved "the national enquirer" killing stories potentially damaging to the president just before the election. >> if the prosecutors in their discretion believe that a crime has been committed, that could wipe out that immunity agreement and lead to additional prosecution. >> reporter: lindsey davis, abc news, new york. now to the political crisis in virginia. this morning, there are new calls for the lieutenant governor to resign, including one
