Donald Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen K Bannon, allegedly has a history of abusive behavior towards his family, according to divorce papers filed in the mid-1990s.

However, she later claimed that Bannon threatened her and ordered her to leave the area, until his attorney allegedly told her it was OK to come back. She said at the time that he did not want the girls attending the Archer School for Girls, because he did not like the way Jews “raise their kids to be “whiny brats”.
When she told him there were Jewish children at a different school, she said he asked the percentage.
At one school Bannon reportedly asked the director why there were so many books about Chanukah in the library, the AP reported citing Piccard’s court declaration.
Alexandra Preate, a spokeswoman for Bannon, denied on Friday night that he made anti-Semitic remarks about the private school, reported the Guardian.
The ex-wife of Steve Bannon claims he made anti-Semitic comments when the couple fought over which private school to send their daughters to almost a decade ago, NBC News reported.
This is the latest controversy involving Stephen K. Bannon since he joined the Trump campaign last week.
In the police report, the then-wife claimed that during an argument on New Year’s Day about finances, she spat at Bannon and he “reached up to her from the driver’s seat of his vehicle and grabbed her left wrist”. After we saw Willows he asked me if it bothered me that the school used to be a Temple. Among a litany of other things – including domestic abuse charges – it has now been discovered that Bannon demanded his children not attend a school with too many Jews.
They’d been long divorced and she was the custodial parent.
She struggled free and went to phone the police, at which point he ‘jumped over their twins, ‘ grabbed the telephone and hurled it across the room, the document said. This week, it was reported that he faced multiple charges – misdemeanor domestic violence, battery and dissuading a witness – stemming from an incident involving his then-wife more than 20 years ago, though all of the charges were dismissed.
Those charges were dropped when Piccard did not appear in court, according to Politico.
Police said they saw red marks on her wrist and neck and that she told them three or four previous arguments had also become physical.
