The House Armed Services Committee Democrats on Wednesday defeated a Republican proposal calling for the Pentagon to share details with Congress about its cancelled $10 billion cloud computing contract. The party-line vote was 28-30.

The failed proposal came as Republicans, and some Democrats, have raised questions about whether Amazon tried to improperly influence the competition for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract. In July, the New York Times reported on emails showing that an Amazon consultant turned Pentagon adviser pushed for a meeting between then-Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
