Last week’s Friday night document dump by the White House revealed that despite his close associations with conservative outlet Breitbart, the site’s former executive chairman and the current White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon does not hold any financial stake in the media company. Over the past week, the website has published many stories critical of Donald Trump’s son-in-law and White House senior advisor, Jared Kushner. These Breitbart stories seem to reflect the power struggle between Kushner and Bannon alluded to in reports published by the New York Times and Daily Beast. Arch-conservative hedge fund executive Robert Mercer and his family own a stake in Breitbart and have also funded Bannon. This deep connection has led some to assume that after Bannon’s time in the White House, he will go back to Breitbart.
