Stephen Bannon's appointment as chief executive of Donald Trump's
campaign has drawn scrutiny to his personal history, including a 1996
arrest in a domestic-violence case that was ultimately dismissed.
Court records show that Bannon was charged with
three misdemeanors in Santa Monica, California, on Feb. 22, 1996, after
his then-wife claimed he attacked her.
During a legal battle more than a decade later,
after the couple divorced, Bannon's ex-wife also claimed in court papers
that he objected to their daughters attending a Los Angeles school
because of the number of Jewish students there. A personal spokesperson
for Bannon denied the claim Friday.
In the police report regarding the alleged 1996 domestic violence incident obtained by Politico
and confirmed by NBC News, she claimed that during a New Year's
argument about finances, she spat at Bannon and he "reached up to her
from the driver's seat of his car and grabbed her left wrist."
