Steve Bannon hired NYC mayoral hopeful Bo Dietl to investigate his ex-wife
Mayoral hopeful Bo Dietl has a dubious connection with chief White House strategist Steve Bannon, who hired the former cop and private investigator to dig up dirt on his ex-wife, according to a report.
Bannon was once accused of roughing up his wife during a heated early-morning argument at his California home, a charge that earned him the wrath of womens groups opposed to his White House appointment.
According to the New York Times, Bannon hired Dietl to help him out of the jam, one of several connections that could damage Dietls standing among women voters.
Dietls firm was also hired to spy on Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros, a pair of Fox News personalities who accused then-chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment.
While critics said Dietls involvement in both cases were just ways for him to attack women, Dietl said he was just doing his job.
