Top Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus resigned, accusing the paper's chief executive and publisher Will Lewis of killing her column that criticized owner Jeff Bezos's mandate to shift opinion columns to focus on libertarian sentiments.

Ruth Marcus, a longtime op-ed writer for the Washington Post, quit on Monday after, she said, her column criticizing owner Jeff Bezos was killed by publisher.

The recent changes Jeff Bezos has instituted at The Washington Post have captured the attention of President Donald Trump, who praised the newspaper owner’s efforts.

President Donald Trump effusively praised Jeff Bezos’ makeover of The Washington Post during an interview on Sunday, a public turn from his past tirades against the Amazon founder over the paper’s reporting.
