White House officials released chief strategist Steve Bannon’s financial disclosure form Friday evening, outlining the former Breitbart News chief’s past positions in media and film companies.
Bannon received a $191,000 salary for his work as Breitbart’s chairman, a role he left in August when he joined the Trump campaign. He took in $61,539 for his role as chairman of the Government Accountability Institute, a nonprofit associated with Breitbart that also boasts Peter Schweizer, author of Clinton Cash, as its president.

The financial disclosure forms, which White House officials are required to complete and submit to the Office of Government Ethics, also note that Bannon worked as the vice president of Cambridge Analytica, a data company funded by Robert Mercer.
The Mercer family, particularly Robert Mercer’s daughter Rebekah, are closely tied to the Trump administration after backing his campaign heavily in 2016. Previously, the Mercers were supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz.
