Bill Foster's War on A Woman
10/26/2012

Illinois court records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon reveal that former Democratic Congressman Bill Foster’s now ex-wife accused him of physical and emotional abuse prior to the couple’s divorce in 1996.

A March 1996 court filing contends that Foster “pushed, shoved, and caused physical abuse and emotional harm” to his then-wife, who had asked Foster repeatedly to leave the family home because his presence was “upsetting” to their two young children.

Foster’s wife’s attorney requested a temporary restraining order against Foster from “calling, harassing, or touching” his client, the records show.
