4:57Now PlayingIn this clip from an interview with Jane Mayer, we look at Robert Mercer, the man who is said to have outKoched the Koch brothers in the 2016 election. The Mercers bankrolled Steve Bannon’s Breitbart News, as well as some of Bannon’s film projects. Conway ran a super PAC created by the Mercers to initially back the candidacy of Ted Cruz. While the Mercers have helped reshape the American political landscape, their work has all been done from the shadows. To talk more about the Mercers, we speak with Jane Mayer, staff writer at The New Yorker. Her latest piece is headlined "The Reclusive HedgeFund Tycoon Behind the Trump PresidencyHow Robert Mercer exploited America’s populist insurgency."
