Stephen Bannon, who last week was appointed CEO of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, faced domestic violence charges in California two decades ago. 

The charges, reported by Politico on Thursday night, came after a January 1996 incident in Santa Monica. The case was ultimately dismissed.

According to the police report posted by Politico, Santa Monica officers responded to a hang-up 911 call. Once officers arrived, they found "red marks" on the wrist and neck of Bannon's then-wife, whose name was redacted from the documents. The report notes that the altercation stemmed from a dispute over their finances.
