Insider's investigation revealed that Amazon knowingly duped consumers into Prime subscriptions.
The suit was the result of an Insider investigation in early 2022.
One of those letters, reviewed by Insider, said the FTC made a Civil Investigative Demand to Amazon in March 2021.
A CID is a legal document enforceable in court that seeks documents or other information related to an FTC investigation.
In April 2022, the FTC sent more correspondence about the issue to Amazon lawyers, according to the letter, which cited Insider's original story from March 2022.
