Internal memo suggests Mercer‑backed Bannon could be leveraged to control Trump’s base and influence Kushner’s new Office of American Innovation The passage outlines a strategic discussion among the Mercers, Steve Bannon, and senior Trump aides about using Bannon and the Breitbart platform to retain a 35% voter bloc and to shape the newly created Office of American Innovation. It provides names, dates, and organizational moves, offering a moderate investigative lead on intra‑administrative power plays and potential patronage, but lacks concrete financial transactions or evidence of wrongdoing. Key insights: Mercer family allegedly view Bannon as a tool to preserve a 35% voter base after a possible Trump defeat.; Discussion of a ‘truce’ on March 27 where Trump agreed not to fire Bannon in exchange for enhancing Kushner’s role.; Creation of the Office of American Innovation on March 27, headed by Jared Kushner, with a vague mission that could expand bureaucracy.
