We’ll revisit our conversation with investigative journalist Jane Mayer. We'll speak to Mayer about her piece in the New Yorker on Robert Mercer, the hedge-fund tycoon who made major investments to ensure Donald Trump’s victory.
In 2016, Mercer gave more that $22 million to the Republican party and invested tens of millions of dollars in right-wing organizations including Breitbart and the Media Research Center. What do we need to know about the big money influencing Donald Trump?
