The news comes as Bannon faces questioning for voter fraud. The couple were divorced shortly after, in August 1996.
The Trump campaign did not reply to a request for comment. Not a big deal, except that the residence listed as his is, in fact, a vacant home, designated for demolition to make way for a new housing project.
It isn’t clear that he is entitled to vote in Florida, which is one of the swing states that is an important electoral vote for either Trump or Hillary Clinton to secure a spot as the next president. They also mention that he used corporal punishment on the twins.
It’s tough being in the media’s bright lights, even for a media person.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to NBC, the now ex-wife said Bannon’s attorney told her to leave town so she couldn’t testify, though the attorney has denied that claim.
“I have emptied the property”, Guevara told The Guardian.
“I took the phone to call the police and he grabbed the phone away from me throwing it across the room, and breaking it as he [was] screaming that I was a ‘crazy f-ing c-t!”
As his wife, the mother of infant twins, dialed 911, Bannon “jumped over her and the twins to grab the phone from her”, the report states.
Bannon also rented a different Florida apartment for Clohesy between the years of 2013 and 2015, and at the time, he changed his voter registration to that address. Whole of Washington is agog with talk about Stephen Bannon’s wife and the police complaint that she had filed 20 years ago.
Details of the apparent breach of election laws by Trump’s campaign chief came as it was revealed that Bannon was once charged with misdemeanor domestic violence after a violent argument with his first wife.
In court filings related to their divorce agreement, Bannon’s former wife, Mary Louise Piccard, said he objected to their daughters attending a Los Angeles prep school because of the large number of Jewish students there, The Associated Press and other outlets report. And we are learning a great deal about the quality of his public pledges… Paul Manafort, Mr Trump’s campaign manager, was forced to resign after investigators found he had been named as someone who was to receive millions of undisclosed cash payments from Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian leader of Ukraine. He called Gretchen Carlson’s sexual harassment case against former Fox News chairman Roger Ailes a “total dud”, and alleged the existence of a “militant-feminist legal wrecking crew”.
Bannon only recently became the CEO of the campaign, taking a leave from the helm of the conservative website Breitbart News.

“It just undermines any effort they are pursuing to try and soften him up when he surrounds himself with people like that”, said Katie Packer, a Republican strategist who vigorously opposes Trump.
