We’ll speak with the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer about Robert Mercer, the hedge-fund billionaire 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 on right-wing organizations including Breitbart and the Media Research Center. What do we need to know about the big money influencing Donald Trump?
