Robert Mercer, Bannon Patron, Is Leaving Helm of $50 Billion Hedge Fund Robert Mercer, a billionaire investor and top financial backer of conservative causes, is stepping down as co-chief executive of Renaissance Technologies, as the giant hedge fund faces a backlash from some clients who resent Mr. Mercer’s embrace of polarizing political figures. Discomfort with Mr. Mercer’s political activism — including protests aimed at university endowments, foundations and pension funds with money invested in Renaissance — has showed signs of taking a small but growing toll. The retirement fund for Baltimore’s police and firefighters, for example, last week asked that all of the $33 million it had invested in Renaissance be refunded, said David A. Randall, the retirement fund’s deputy executive director. The Baltimore fund had been contacted by a local reporter about whether the pension was bothered by Mr. Mercer’s political activities. Seeking to avoid bad publicity, the pension’s directors convened an emergency conference call and decided to pull their money. That $33 million withdrawal was a rounding error for Renaissance, which has more than $50 billion in assets. But it signaled a growing unease, inside and outside the firm, about Mr. Mercer’s backing of Stephen K. Bannon, the former White House adviser. Renaissance’s founder, James Simons, is a prominent Democratic booster who supported Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. In letters to investors and to Renaissance staff on Thursday morning, Mr. Mercer said he would step down as co-chief executive and as a board member on Jan. 1. He said he would remain involved with the research arm of Renaissance, which uses complex mathematical equations to create trading strategies.

Trump campaign adviser: Sessions 'would have told me' if he knew about Papadapoulos' push for Trump-Putin meeting The former director of the Trump campaign's national security advisory committee, JD Gordon, said that he and Jeff Sessions, then the committee's chairman, "did not know" about George Papadopoulos' emails. The campaign's national cochairman, Sam Clovis, brought Papadopoulos onto the campaign and received some of the emails but did not tell Gordon or Sessions about them, Gordon said in an interview. Clovis "should have told me and the senator" about the emails, Gordon said. http://www.businessinsider.com/jd-gordon-sessions-papadopoulos-emails-trump-mueller-2017-11
