NYT reports:
Both [new campaign manager] Ms. Conway and [new campaign CEO] Mr. Bannon, whose news organization has been very favorable to Mr. Trump since he entered the primaries, are close with Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the father-and-daughter conservative donors...What do we know about Robert and Rebekah Mercer?
Robert is co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund.
Robert and Rebekah are major political players.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Robert is currently ranked the #1 donor to federal candidates in the 2016 election cycle.
Here's the very serious problem with that:
He donated $2 million to super warmonger neocon John R. Bolton’s super PAC.
Sheldon Adelson will sleep well tonight.

UPDATE
It's worse.
I just learned the spokesperson for the Mercer family was Kellyanne Conway, who has now been installed as Trump’s campaign manager.
